I've already posted a bit of my first impressions here: Red Sound FRFR Speakers
I'm currently using Equator D8's at home and I really like the tones on those.
When playing through my CLR's, the same tones a are a little more "boxy" for lack of a better word.
Not as crisp if you know what I mean.
Same with the MF.10 PRO/M
This one's definitely a tad darker than the CLR's and a lot more than the D8's.
I tried different positions and what worked best was having it practically at rear's height when sitting down and not in front off or close to a wall.
I remember from @ZenRigs Man post that EQ-ing is very important.
So I looped a guitar part and kept switching between the D8's and the Redsound.
This is what I came up with:

I measured 105dB at about 2m70 (9ft) with my Phonic PAAZ, At that point clipping light barely started blinking.
To bad it doesn't say in the manual if it can't blink or just blink and not stay on.
Maybe @Diego or @Marco Fanton can chime in.
At around 95dB, the Redsound does fuller than the D8's.
Like the D8's are the hi-fi version and the MF.10 is the amp in the room.
Also, the D8's are in Stereo so I wonder what 2 MF.10's would sound like.
As I mentioned in my previous post, even when using mono presets, dual mono chorus does sound very nice.
So, what to do?
The EV PXM-12MP was also a contender.
This has the advantage that it can also be used as a monitor - for which I use and like the CLR's the most.
I only have 30 days to decide.
I'm having doubts whether to get the EV to compare or to get a second MF.10 and, when the CLR's die, replace those with maybe the EV's.
