It is 55Hz - 20kHz and this is +/- ~1-1.5dB... I think you're misreading the chart a bit.Robert Randolph wrote:

To be more clear that nothing is "missing" here is the same for a set of monitors that cost $1,400 per pair...

There are some obvious differences:
1. Steepness of bass roll-off. iLoud goes -20dB within an octave, the others well over two and not that sharp knee.
2. Irregularities around cross-over point from midrange to tweeter. For the iLoud visible at 3.5 kHz, at the others not clear.
Still this is quite interesting! I always say you cannot judge monitors on paper. You have to hear them.

Thanks for the info Peter. Any word on when these will be available? I'm travelling soon and it would be great to be able to have these with me. Seems like they would be great for traveling (along with a Subpac to accurately measure low frequencies).
Also, do you have any third-party reviews of these monitors? It would be nice to know some pros and cons.

The bottom octave of a piano's fundamentals are from ~27-55hz.Peter - IK Multimedia wrote:It is 55Hz - 20kHz and this is +/- ~1-1.5dB... I think you're misreading the chart a bit.Robert Randolph wrote:

I'm not misreading the chart at all.
Congrats on the product launch though, I hope they are successful. Certainly has to be better than people putting out these ridiculous headphone mixes.

Gotcha, though this is no different than many even more expensive monitors out there, micro or not.Robert Randolph wrote:The bottom octave of a piano's fundamentals are from ~27-55hz.Peter - IK Multimedia wrote:It is 55Hz - 20kHz and this is +/- ~1-1.5dB...

Thanks for the kind words, too.
