Today we’re going to be trying out the FX80 Monitors by Fluid Audio! I met the guys at Fluid Audio back in January at NAMM, and we’ve finally got a pair to try out! They have been kind enough to send us a pair to give away as well! Entre the giveaway below for your chance to win!
These retail for about $498 for the pair! Before we even opened the box I read a bunch of FX80 reviews to get more of an idea about these speakers! I’m very excited to hear them!
Introducing our new FX series of coaxial studio monitors.
Improving on our successful FX8, we now introduce the FX80.
We have taken users feedback and improved on all points.
We will claim this is the best sounding studio monitor below $250
New, contoured baffle enclosure design
Keeping true to the original “keyhole” design, the FX enclosure has been updated with a complex radius front baffle, which not only looks pretty cool, it improves cabinet defraction.
Coaxial driver
Mounted in the center of the woofer is a 30mm silk dome tweeter in a coaxial configuration. Using this technology (unique in its price range) makes it a “point source” device, meaning that all the sound emanates from a single point - not points that are 10″ apart. This is crucial for improving off-axis response, but also allows for a more compact footprint cabinet.
Boundary compensation DIP switches
Sometimes the spaces where we mix aren’t the most forgiving acoustically
(especially if you’re in a home studio).
The FX series monitors come equipped with boundary control EQ switches, that allow you to compensate for spaces that may not have been “tuned” or just need to be adjusted due to their proximity to the wall behind them. There is also a guide conveniently printed on the rear panel to show how the DIP switches work, and a more detailed explanation in the user guide.

How do you test new studio monitors?
Listen to some tracks that I’m super familiar with and usually measure in Sonarworks with the trim settings flat just to see how the response is in the room
Looks at 20 year old Event 20/20Ps and wonders "what are new studio monitors?" 😂 However, I'm listening on Slate VSX headphones, so I'm not that far off. I listen to a bunch of material that I used to use when I installed car stereo systems. If I only had one song to listen to I use "Hotel California" from the MTV show in 94. The impact, depth, and lows of the Djembe/Kick followed by the placement in the stereo field of the right and left offset shakers, the difference between the nylon and steel string acoustics, the shimmer of the chimes going from left to right, and finally Henley's vocals. I used this to fall in love with Focal Shape 65's at VK in Nashville a few months ago. My wallet didn't agree with my assessment though.
I have a set of Fluid Fpx7. I was curious about these 8 inchers. Went with the other boys. Very pleased with the Fpx7's
If it's too loud and annoys my neighbours (sheltered accommodation flats for oldies like me) then it's no good. The Kali LP6's are great when quiet, I couldn't get away with anything else. My acoustic pads are two squares of thick wool carpet. Perfect and better than most foam pads. 🎅🎅🎅
I like to annoy my family by listening non-stop 👀
Thanks Warren for reviewing the speakers. I've actually been looking at them recently and had a hard time finding any reviews that work from the company. I think this video was all I needed to pull the trigger on getting these. again thank you so much. Happy holidays
Thanks ever so much Cody!
Wow, I loved the way you did not dismiss these speakers at the start of the review when they were obviously sounding pretty awful and boxy. At the end, once you had adjusted the EQ, they were sounding so much better. I suppose that is a useful lesson for us all. Thanks teacher. ☺️
You’re very kind! Yes, my room has its own sound, everybody’s does and I had to tune the Genelecs as well to sound great in there! So it’s only fair and makes perfect sense to get the speakers to sound as good as they can in my environment!
Thank you for this review Warren! I have a pair of their older brothers (FX8), and for the price they sound pretty dang good and translate well, from my room at least. Only issue was a slight amp hiss (A/B poweramp), but they seem to have solved it in later releases of the FX8 and later models. Cheers from Italy!
Warren, thank you for always using that song to demo speakers. It really helps me to know exactly what the speakers are doing.
Can't wait to see this. These are definitely on a shortlist and I want to upgrade my monitors. Unfortunately a certain amount of port and rum (yeah I know I shouldn't mix) makes me unfit to watch this video today. Thank you for taking your time Warren.
Glad to be able to help! Thanks ever so much
You're a funny guy :)
@@efnerva664 haha he certainly is!!
I’m always getting inspired by your videos. The way you produce music is just inspiring :)
Thanks ever so much
Love the video Warren! I just bought Sonarworks for my mixing room and am blown away at how much better my mixes have gotten! (JBL MK2 w/ sub)
These speakers would be absolutely incredible paired with sonarworks, to control that low mid build up!
Yes, agreed 100%!
I like these speaker review videos, even with a lapel mic, along with your listening experience and explanations they provide useful info! Great stuff Warren! Cheers :-)
Wow!! Thanks ever so much Chris! That really means a lot!
Amazing fix with the high end went from boxy to acceptable. Always learning, love the channel !
Great to hear! Thanks ever so much!
Happy to see these reviewed by you Warren
Thanks ever so much!
You’re great man. Thanks for all the great work always💪
I've enjoyed these for about 5 months, I find their frequency response pretty flat though there's a slight dip around 2kHz (crossover-related?) that I've eq'ed out. Terrific speakers for the money, excellent value.
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
Thanks for the review Warren. I really enjoy your channel.
Thanks ever so much!!
I have the original Fluid 8 ...Great price and sound great. Great video warren ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wow!! Beautiful speakers!!! Thanks for the opportunity to get a pair of this babies, good luck to everyone!!
You’re very welcome!!
Watch you everyday, I’ve learned a lot, thanks so much!
Thanks ever so much
I have been considering these, after I am done with my build.
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
Friends of mine have these. They are great, especially for their price, like where do you get a concentric 8" studio monitor for 200€? And they go down to 35 Hz. If that's not low enough for you, there's also a 10" sub that goes down to 20Hz. Also, 110 Watts per Speaker? That's almost half that of a regular 12" PA speaker, and those will fill out a big room no questions asked
Anyways, the album they mixed is called "of Bedrooms and Basements" by Signal From Noise
I am using the fluid audio fx8s for over a year now and they are just fantastic beasts 🦕
Wonderful! Thanks ever so much for sharing!
Agreed - I have them too - fantastic full range monitors.
Thanks ever so much for sharing
I have the Fluid Audio FX50s and they are amazing, especially when paired with my Mackie Cr8s Subwoofer. Highly recommended setup for nearfields.
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
@@Producelikeapro Coaxial monitors are incredible in terms of imaging and sweet spot. I can never go back to regular monitors for nearfield. I have the dip switch on -4dB with the acoustic space and kept everything else flat. I find I have a significant room mode at 125Hz, which I suspect comes from the desk itself and the front wall. The dipswitch helps with that. The low mids are still slightly off to my ears, but everything else is absolutely incredible especially when paired with the subwoofer. I am planning on using Sonarworks to flatten the 125Hz room mode and make my setup as neutral as possible.
I am going to buy these. A good value setup for the money. The Room is critical to the sound setup. The coaxial arrangement also gives good off axis response. I am going to use them for a living room listening setup
Thanks ever so much for sharing
Enjoy your reviews a lot! Thanks
Hi David! Glad you like them! Thanks ever so much!
For those who don't know what XLR means: it comes from the part number prefix of the Cannon (company) X= X Series + L= Latch/Locking (cause they added a locking mechanism) + R= Rubber (cause the female contacts are insulated with rubber, the part you usually plug into a microphone for example)
Thanks ever so much for sharing your wonderful insight!
I am always learning something new on this channel. Not only is it the best channel but I learn a lot from reading the comments. Thanks Warren and thanks to everyone who shares their knowledge in the comments!
Good info thanks. How was the imaging? ... coaxial speakers are supposed to have an advantage there ...
Great video Warren! I’m considering getting myself a pair for my home setup. Been using Yamaha’s msp5s. How would you rank or compare the FX80s to the Yamaha HS8s?
I've had a pair of these for about 6 months, and I'm very happy with them.
I use them with Sonarworks.
Thanks ever so much for sharing Ken!
Fantastic Review, thanks Warren !!! 🤘
Thanks ever so much Ady!!
Great review of these monitors! I'm looking to purchase something very soon. These might do it!
Thanks ever so much! I’m glad to be able to help!!
I just got a set of the Fluid 5" units and the bottom end shocked me. Had gurlfren listen and she was looking around for a subwoofer that is not there.
Amazing little monitors for less than $200 used.
Thanks for testing those things, I've been a bit curious. Then again my 1032's are in the mail so hopefully I won't have to worry about monitors in the forseable future.
Hi Lasse, if you have 1032's coming you are in very good shape my friend!!
@@Producelikeapro It's by far the biggest upgrade I've ever done, or hoped for.
Wow! That’s amazing to hear!!
i remember the day i went to a music store with a testing cd i had made beforehand. there was some NIN - We're in this together now; Dire Straits - You and your friend; Some i believe Chopin Nocturne and some Movie OST, prolly something big and epic by Zimmer. Every pair of monitors, from 800 to 2400 did a pretty good job - or so i thought. What settled things was a sine sweep i had recorded on that same CD. I went back home without new monitors and stuck to my old passive Tannoys. Of course, the monitors you know will be among the best, but back then in 2002, only the Genelecs and the Mackies among those i tested, would give you a homogenic response of that sine sweep. And the Mackies, while beautiful, couldn't resolve fast Bass Signals. 16th-Synth-Bass would result in an eternal bass note. I'm still mixing on said old passive monitors^^
I've been looking at these a really long time and I think I'm about ready to pull the trigger. I liked the comparison to the genelec's. It really helped to hear the change differences between the settings. High Shelf, Mid and low cutoff are pretty easy to get figured out and you did pretty much what I was thinking I would have to do for my space as well. The only thing I'm curious about, which we were not able to hear is what the "Acoustic Space" switches will actually adjust as well as where did you have the volume knob placed that had them matching volume with the Genelec. I tend to keep my HS8 in the middle, but I'm not sure they translate the same between Yamaha and Fluid. Yamaha seems like it's more of an overall cut and boost than a volume knob, so leaving them center makes sense. So curious about how that Voume knob compares as well.
TLDR: Where is the Volume knob set and what are the sound differences when adjusting switches 5 & 6 Acoustic Space.
I'm glad that modern speaker designs tend to have softer high end. There's a pair of Yamaha hs8-s in the control room and my ears are bleeding every time :D.
It's probably just me being too sensitive to highs, but don't have that problem with Neumann kh80's. I could only imagine what engineers had to live through with the ns10-s.
It would actually be really nice to see decent sub 1k speakers without ports in the future. That would be a huge step in budget speaker designs.
Marvellous perspective! Thanks ever so much for sharing
The NS 10s were notorious for being harsh on the high end, so much so that some people put cloth in front of the tweeter to cut some of the harshness but that actually was one of the things that made them great to mix on because you wouldn't make your mix too bright. Your ear naturally wants to hear brightness and loudness and getting them both is kinda the holy grail quest back in those days, now bass is equally important because of storage media quality and modern consumer speakers. Just my personal opinion but I judge monitors more on how my mix translates than how great the listening experience is. But, having said that, its great to have a few different sets and a "hifi" set that is detailed without being fatiguing is a must on long sessions to me. Have fun!
Yep. A lot of bright speakers sizzled and distorted. Made it impossible to hear air and masked the higher frequencies of the presence range. Impossible to accurately EQ highs on them and mastering on them was out of the question.
Greetings. Based on your multifarious travels across the audio universe, would you be able to recommend any one speaker model in this price range. Love your channel by the way.
How would you compare these to the Kali Audio IN8? Also, what happened to the Kali's you've had on your console?
I own these already 🤩 but the older version (FX8, not FX80). They are very cost effective and sound great and accurate 👍🏼 to be honest I didn’t compare them to many speakers but my friend says that he liked it better than his entry-level Genelic! And they are used in some television/radio studios in my country (Bahrain). Thanks Warren for the review!
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
Really great quality for low price! Great showcase!
Thanks ever so much RC32!
@@Producelikeapro My pleasure!
You Rock
@@Producelikeapro You rock!
Hi warrent whats the best mid price speakers you recomend for rock music small room for under 1500$
These little boxes kick. Very cool. I have my Kali LP6s, so I won’t be entering. But I do want to see more of what they do. And I’m going to talk a friend into entering for these. She could use them.
how old are your kids? .. bc of the gorgeous paintings on the upper right of your mixconsole ;-) Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge, really enjoy your casts.
My daughter did some of this when she was 3 or 4! Haha I love keeping them up!
been eyeing these for my next monitor set....these and the FPX7s
Fantastic! Thanks ever so much for sharing
Love your show. Have you ever discussed how many takes are really productive. As a producer, how do you guide the artist.
That's a wonderful idea! I have discussed that in some videos, however, yes, we could definitely do more of them!
Ask the Beatles
Hi Billy. I watched one of Warren's about recording vocalists (was with another guy). That covered it.
So we'll have to sit and wait and see if the LP6's are going to return;). I own those and maybe the FX80's brings a better translation on a shorter distance in my 4ft mixing triangle in my small controlroom? I do have an Adam sub7 for extra mono buttshake:)
These are fascinating monitors. I just saw they are available in Germany for slightly above 500 EUR a pair. Really interesting.
Thanks ever so much for sharing
Won't the long low frequency of the bigger driver envelope and muffle the short high frequency of the tweeter since its surrounding the tweeter from all sides ?
Excellent review
Thanks ever so much Tim!
Sir you are a gem. Love from India.
Thanks ever so much to you in India!!
Some of the supposed advantages of the dual-concentric (or co-axial) configuration are improved imaging and reduced phasing issues between the tweeter and the woofer, particularly around the crossover frequencies. Any comments about those?
I have the Fluid Audio FX50s and it is true. Coaxial monitors give you a wide sweet spot and INCREDIBLE imaging due to the drivers being in phase. It is life changing.
@@thatchinaboi Heya! I'm looking into FX50s how do you feel about them after working for a year now and what all frequency adjustment did you require?
How would you rate them against the Kali?
And of course, thanks alot!
I'd been thinking in investing in a pair of Eris but might hold off. Would be cool to win. Best of luck to everyone!
THANKS A LOT FOTR THE LIVE DEMO👍👍👍
Hello I am a bit late (-; i have the predecessor FX8 . I really like them , but they do not have any adjustment possibilities unfortunately . i don`t have a mixing console , but a desk underneath . I have a peak at about B /Bb on a 5 string bass (110 -120 ?) Currently i am building some absorption panels but now I am wondering if it is the desk maybe . As always , very good video . Thanks a lot
Special thanks for this one, Warren. My mixing engineer highly recommended these for my home studio a few years ago. How do they compare to LP 8's? Appreciate your channel. Stay well.
Thanks ever so much sharing! I didn't directly compare. I might in the future?
How would these compare in anyway to the adams or do they not even come close in anyway to the adams sound
For me I was very difficult to pick out a pair of monitors bc I like the high end a lot. Tested out many monitors and I settled with a pair of JBL305P MK2. I really like them and totally happy. I don't like the boomy loose low end. Perhaps thinking back, I should of got the 306P pair but ya.
i saw many reviews stating that the fx80´s are very noisy. do they really have audible internal "hiss"? i want to buy them for my small studio as nearfield monitors so that would be kinda annoying to hear hiss all the time.
Thank you for testing low prices monitors as i was asking it. But i' m in doubt because i own a pair of Yamaha HS7 and i think i must put 1500$ used monitor to experience something really new . Because these Fluid Fx sound like good monitors for beginning but i hear a difference with your Focal monitors in your mic . I hear more AIR and the reverbs. That more important to have both good Low and High frequency for me now. So i must put each month a little money to buy much expensive ones , i think.
At loud levels the fluid distorts noticeable
Add me to the raffle! Nice pair of monitors. I like the ability to adjust the frequency response. Appreciate the review Warren!
Fantastic! Thanks ever so much Kent!!
How would you compare this to the Kali lp8s ?
Great video, hope you are able to get a hold of some RCF Ayra Pro monitors and compare those :-)
Always open to try new monitors!! Thanks ever so much
Even through that Lav mic the Genelecs sound much better.
IMPRESSED!!!
Marvellous! Thanks ever so much for sharing
Those look exactly like my pioneer rm-07 monitors. I wonder how they compare.
Today I bought a used a pair of Genelec 1031a 😄. So much better than my entry Level lsr 305. Tranks for your incredable shnizzle content 😄 👍👍👍
Wow! That's amazing to hear!!
You won’t be sorry, build like a tank.
Yes, I’ve had mine for many, many years!!
how to boost or cut in a speaker? (not in the mix ) newbie....hardware question
I would have loved to see them against the Genelecs stock/none adjusted, It wasn't a really fair comparison in the beginning but they still sounded crazy good considering they weren't adjusted for your space. Other than that awesome video.
Absolutely dual-concentric (same center), you are correct sir!
Think it was an Altec - Lansing trademark?
Thanks ever so much Steve!!
@@Producelikeapro NP Warren, I learn so much from you! The year was 1979 when I first heard that term. My first rock band when I was 15 needed a PA to bang out our Zep, Rush, and Van Halen tunes for keg parties. The local music store in Vegas sold us a Peavey )of course, what else can a working class bunch of kids from
Vegas afford!!) XR1200 powered mixer and 2 Altec “Mantaray” speakers with the HF horn driven driver built right into the center of the 15” LF driver (those things sounded great!), very unique at the time, and the factory told me they were an exclusive Altec “dual concentric” design not to be found by any other PA speakers in their class. Ah, time of yer life, kid... youth is wasted on the young! To be young dumb, and full of cum in a rock band In Vegas, I began getting chicks approaching me for carnal knowledge as a lead guitarist for the first time in my life!
At 56, I’ve never worked a job outside of music!
are these more complete than kali audios offerings?
Oh, I bought a Fluid F4 almost a year ago, small monitors, but they really help me out. Of course, there is a little lack of frequencies, but this is compensated by the ATH-M30x headphones.
Thanks ever so much for sharing
Hi produce like a pro how does the fluid fx80 compare to jbl lsr 305s and what about the fluid stage 2 which has a 8" driver on d side
Fluid image 2 not stage 2 sorry
Great video master, please, im gonna buy a pair of monitors for my home studio, please Tell me which IS better, this Fluid audio fx80 the new focal Alpha evo 65 the ir Tell me which one beacuse are so Many brands and im not sure, i Hope your help master thanks.
I wonder how they stack up against Presonus Sceptre series?
multiple videos of the same channel later I'm still here finding gems!
Wow! Thanks ever so much that really means a lot!
@@Producelikeapro many more thanks to you sensi, big up
I’ve definitely been looking for an upgrade from my KRK Rokit 5s. I’ve got some treatment in the room, and recently purchased sonar works. Ive personally been wanting a better midrange response. And have noticed artists wanting more volume when tracking when I’m practically maxed out. You reckon this would be a solid upgrade for my needs?
I would check them out if you can against other speakers to see if their sound works for you. It's worth taking the time to compare speakers.
Definitely time for you to upgrade. I enjoyed a pair of G3 RP8s for many years but the G3 RP5s were over-ported IMO (typical for speakers with small dimensions). SonarWorks likely doesn't get the best out of them. I can imagine it's maxing out their power in the dips in the low-end frequency response which would limit how loud you can go with them.
@@unclemick-synths hey I appreciate your reply. I haven’t gotten used sonar works with the 5s yet because of a move and Xmas stress getting in the way. But that’s something good to know and keep in mind. I agree way over ported.
But I ended up finding a mint, less than 3 month old pair of these guys for 320 bucks on reverb last night. Hard to argue at that price (had saved up a decent budget for NS-10s) so I just went ahead and pulled the trigger on them and their monitor stands.
For a small dent in my monitor budget, I think it was a wise purchase. Even if they just become a second set to test on in the future. Pretty excited nonetheless!
@@austinhein239 it sounds like they'll have the grunt to handle whatever SonarWorks asks of them if you get in the ballpark first with the DIP switches. I think you're better off leaving NS-10s as a second opinion speaker though I personally greatly prefer cube speakers over the Yamahas.
@@unclemick-synths are you referring to the Avantone mix cube speakers? What do you like/prefer about them?
The reason for my want of NS-10s was just to have something completely highlight the nasties in the midrange. I was astonished at how easy it was to pick out bad buildups on my buddys set. But if there’s other similar/better options, I’d love to look into them
I need new studio monitors, too :) Happy new year!
Happy new year!!
Though I know its from a speaker, recorded through a Lapel, then the final stab that is YT compression....
14:00
Just want to say switching in that chorus, I could hear the Rev fx one the genys , all gone was the FX on the FX.
Still . It is what it is... $500, amazing value for a concentric that has had generally good reviews...
Still Aint a Geny though.. Nor is it supposed to be.
Sounded like alot of low mid boxyness on the mic,got better after the low cut, that's not particularly a bad thing once tamed..
They do have an extra amount of low mids, at least in my room. Because of software like Sonarworks, we can definitely remove any bumps caused by either room or the speaker, meaning inexpensive speakers can really now be an option for may people!
To everyone who hasn't . . . Join the academy ! Tons of information !!!!
Aw shucks! Thanks ever so much Nicholas!
@@Producelikeapro just recently joined and absolutely love it. . . Everyone is so helpful ! There is tons of information i haven't even made a dent and I try to stay on for a few hrs a day ! Absolutely brilliant ! Can't wait to see whats next for the platform and its growth !

I actually need some studio monitors right now. I just joined the giveaway.
Best of luck to you and everyone else!
nice review!
Thanks ever so much!!
Even through the lapel mic I hear that lack of headroom that you get with small speakers trying to extend their bass.. I love the concept but I'll stick with my HS7s and my LSR308's this time! \m/
those are really good monitors already !
Is it best to buy an amp/monitors combo? I’m using a DAW on a 2011 iMac and decent headphones are just not cutting it. As you can see I’m on a budget.
Absolutely! Almost every major Producer/Engineer and Mixer uses powered monitors!
@@Producelikeapro I edited out a dumb question here. But definitely Thanks for your videos, they keep me wanting to experiment. I always pick something up from them.
Thanks ever so much for your wonderful comment
these of kali audio?
Nice! But please can you tell me which Song you'd been played for the example? I'd bought 1 Week ago the TASCAM VS-L5 Monitors. Not the Best, i know. But for me the Best i ever had.
EDIT:
I found it! My problem was to understand your pronunciation, cauuse my english is soooo bad! Sorry for that!
Testing speakers with that positioning, for real?
What is a plinth?
KRK 7 vs Fluid FX80 ?
I've always been interested in spending time with Duel concentric/coaxial mons. I remember the old Tannoy NFM 8s, and the tweeter always sounded too lazer sharp to my ear (I actually have a tweeter driver right here in a box). I haven't sat in a room with those Genelecs since, late 90s ?. I remember them being on the crispy side(forward mid-high mids). Is that how you hear yours?
For $500 they look really cool, but hypey lows or highs give me pause. I'd probably spend $400 on the Kali LP8s , since they're supposed to be flatter out of the box.
I love the old Tannoy Little Golds! What an amazing monitor!! I have my Genelecs set pretty flat, they are tuned for the room. After working on NS10’s nothing can feel that crispy anymore haha
@@Producelikeapro Yeah those old Tannoy golds were pretty impressive advanced mons back then..........NS10s, hahaha, true true :-)
Yes, still love them!!
Tried the FX50, sounded great. Unfortunately they were rattling at low volume and minimal bass.
Pair them with a subwoofer.
@@thatchinaboi Thanks, but I decided on a set of Yamaha HS5. No issues using same tracks as with FX50. happy, happy.
Makes me want Genelecs
They are wonderful! However, they are considerably more expensive! The Fluid so an amazing job for the price!
Still got those EVE Monitors posted
👀👀👀👀 I wonder how they compare to the LP-6s
My KALI AUDIO Independence 8's are sittin pretty comfy changing my life so we good.
I didn't do a direct comparison, however the LP-6's do have an extended low end, but not as much low mids.
@@Producelikeapro I head that the Kali's have a audible hiss.
So, they cost half of you'd pay for a pair of Equator D8, which are also coaxial.
It seems that way! I haven’t used those speakers, so I can’t comment on their sound
Perhaps an oversight by you Warren, why don't you just level match your speakers set with the volume on the speaker itself?
The speakers were at maximum and the volume was much identical. Unfortunately not all speakers have individual volume control and most importantly some just aren’t loud enough for a larger room like mine! What I liked about these is they maybe affordable but they can fill a room!
@@Producelikeapro Yes sir but it is possible to set the volume of the speakers at a nice detent point (about 50%) and compensate for any volume difference between speaker systems with the volume control of the speaker itself.
I am guessing you like to drive the pre-amp gain of your speakers to the max because perhaps you believe it is a better sound?
Your big Genelecs sound wicked man! Nice and balanced! whereas the fluid audio sounds like a smiley face! Overly hyped in the bass and harshly wispy in the presence. Have you ever tested the Presonus Eris E8 monitors? They have an amazing sound for the price mate.
Greetings from London. Ron
Dang those new Eves seems so small 😅
MY shit. -=] CSBT Thank You I love you!
I bought fluid for 330 e in serbia
