That's only logical if you're having the same issue with FOH and recorded sounds. Neither of those was mentioned and I don't think they're implied from his post. What if the EVs seem a little bright but FOH and recording sound fine? What if recording sounds fine and FOH is a little dark...or vice versa?Logically though, turning treble down on your monitoring means you'll end up sending a brighter signal to FOH or a recording. Is that what you want to do?
Ideally monitoring is neutral, with the same tonal balance as whatever you consider your target system. There's a bit of a hall of mirrors thing going on. What do you trust?
What was mentioned are Adams A7Xs which I've heard people say translate pretty well to FOH tones. A few folks in here have mentioned that the EVs can get a little bright and, at least initially, that's been my experience as well.
In terms of trust, I wouldn't blindly trust anything to translate well to FOH. Seems to me you have to tweak for that on the spot or leave it to the sound engineer.
Edit: Also my initial testing was done in direct comparison with a 2002 Mesa 4x12. I've had to take a few days away from the setup and won't be comparing the EVs to anything when I fire it back up. Thus it's entirely possible I won't feel the need to tweak anything next time. We'll see.
