I'm glad you are happy. I'm still thinking that you've not quite experienced the difference between truthful and popular? I tend to agree on the auratones being worst. what I don't get is the concept that using less truthful, accurate or wide band products is better? If you are doing old 50s rock and roll, or tecno, or any of the drum and bass genres, then setting fader levels for the bass vs the rest of the mix is pretty critical. The problems with speakers that have less bottom is that the only way to set the bass content level is guesswork. With NS10s you tended to add the bass fader until you could just hear something there - even if indistinct yet know that on bassy replay systems, the bass would be much more prominent. My RCFs in the video studio start gently removing bass at about 60Hz, and by the time the bass is playing the bottom E it's well down, and on a 5 string - the bottom B string open or anywhere between B and D might be misheard. The phenomena I mean is where if there is bass in the intro, then the tune kicks in - it can be a whole tone away, and you don't notice. The bottom B and bottom C sharp lose the tuning.
Good you got a pair. You just need to get used to estimating levels at the bottom.
