This was in early 2018 so memories are from then. I think they sounded alright. I had one and the active one. I used it on a couple of rehearsal and one gig. I looked into them because they where small, light and Matrix has good reputation. As I said, I had to absolutely crank them to be able to sit with the drummer in the band I played with at the time and the CLR which was my reference sounded better in every way. If you're on an absolute size/weight reduction journey I think they may possibly be a good option. And as I said in the previous post, I now have a pair of Elis.8 but got them this year so some 5 years later. I've never used just the one Elis.8 but if I looked at something sub 10Kg for whatever reason (back pain, ...) I'd take one of the Elis.8 over how I remembered the Matrix FR10. I haven't played one but at 2Kg more, I would be very surprised if the Redsound MF.10 wouldn't completely destroy the Matrix FR10 in every way except for being 2Kg heavier.Hello! I would like to understand why you sold your Matrix FR10. Was your Matrix FR10 active or passive? What did you think of his tones on it? Its tones were different when using it on IEM or FOH? Could you explain your experience better?
I don't use IEM so can't comment and the gig we played was a really small club with no FoH so can't comment on that either.
