Small monitors, treble causing issues... upgrade? change?

Thank you for this! I will look into it. I also looked and found that I'd dialled back the tweeter on the monitors down 2dB some time ago, so I've undone that and it should help a fair bit for them, but I'm in a small-ish room with my partner's desk and some cupboards here too, so treatment and...

Small monitors, treble causing issues... upgrade? change?

Would one curve be enough? Given that the curve changes gradually with volume increase? Is there an example EQ maybe floating around this forum that people have had success with? (I'm looking myself, but wondering if it exists)

Small monitors, treble causing issues... upgrade? change?

Thanks for your reply @chris I'm familiar with FM, but never done anything in real life to address it. Yes, with my (tube) guitar amps, I play them at around 85dB+ (where they sound best.. lower means missing bass and character). I can have them at that volume presumably because as you say...

Thanks for your advice. Actually, the reason I want to hear what Chris thinks is because he said the things I wrote aligned to a common theme (implying possibly a single likely cause), the opposite of a paradox :)

Small monitors, treble causing issues... upgrade? change?

Oh, they're on :) I'm not new to this... Had a fractal of some sort over the past nearly decade. Just a bit unenthused with the sounds I'm getting... Unless my ears are nearly hurting >_< I just don't know how to get the sounds I like without it having to be so loud, and wondering if maybe...

So you reckon the monitors are the problem?

Hmm if I reduce the treble, it's all just muddy and boring though. I've got some Beyerdynamic DT880s (250ohm) and things sound a bit meh unless I have them louder than is good for my ears, I'm sure. I can't really play with them for that reason. I used to play an Axe FX 2 mk2 through a pair of...

Hi all. I have a pair of Adam Audio A3X which I use for playing my FM9. They are on iso-acoustic brand stands. Annoyingly (and painfully), it's only when I get them up at 80-85dB or more that they start sounding good (and different to each other). At this volume, the treble content is kinda...

Considering trying Fractal again - FM9

Thanks VERY MUCH everyone :) All this feedback has given me the confidence to try an FM9 or maybe an FM3 again. Now to just flog off all the pedals needed to fund it!

Considering trying Fractal again - FM9

Hi All, TL/DR: how many of you are finding you can just choose an amp, a cab, turn the Bass/Miss/High knobs a bit as you would a real amp, and just PLAY and be happy with the sound... without page diving and fiddling? Long version: Several years ago i had an Axe FX 2 MK2. Like many, I spent a...

Ear fatigue using monitors

The Mid control on my monitors is 1kHz and the Hi control is 4.5kHz. To control 3kHz explicitly should go per patch, or use the Axe's global EQ? As this weird volume effect is for all my patches
