just to be clear, this is for "a" monitor.

Not a pair.

Keep calm!

I've got a pair of these and absolutely love them. They are a bit on the critical side but that's often what you want in a studio monitor. I suggest setting them up in your room and running REW and Peace for a room-specific DEQ; you'll hear detail and nuance greater than ever before on your favorite testing tracks.

I got the same speaker for $20 less in 2022. This deal is decent. Been using the speakers for years without a subwoofer and they sound great for everything.

I'd want to see measurements before buying. Not the best frequency response in other models.

These are very well reviewed - I own a pair and (the sub) for computer monitors. When I'm not plugged into an amp I also love how my guitar (through Helix native) sounds through them.

I believe the Hs series are more on the brighter side compared to the T series of the Adam's so the HS could be fatiguing. Adam's use the x tweeters and honestly you can mix on those without any ear fatigue

Thanks for posting. I didn't know these free tools are available.

Happy to be the one to introduce you. The only real cost is a calibrated mic for REW (UMIK or similar); from there they sky is the limit as REW is a powerful tuning tool. For the easy path just create your EQ files in REW and load into Peace. Happy tuning!
