EDIT: Please, read the full post, is not about which one is better and which I should buy.
EDIT 2: I’ll have the Adam and the Yamaha at my home to try in my room.
EDIT 3: FINAL VERDICT here in my last post: https://forum.fractalaudio.com/thre...tor-dilemma-final-verdict.180747/post-2214354
I'm considering an upgrade to my studio monitors.
However, the difference I hear between the monitors I have (Yamaha) and the ones I'm considering buying (Adam) is huge and it got me thinking about how amp models and presets are created.
Listen to this video, the "metal" part, the Yamaha's sound much clearer and focused on the high frequencies. The Adam's seem to have cut offs on the highs or at least don't have as much treble present.
So I'm thinking:
That said, two questions:

So I'm thinking:
- if a model/preset is created on the Adam, it will definitely sound too strident on the Yamaha (and this happens to me knowing, fo example, that @2112 uses Adams, and his presets sounds too bright on my Yamaha)
- if it is created on the Yamaha it will inevitably sound dark on the Adam.
That said, two questions:
- is it possible to know which reference monitors are used in @FractalAudio studios? If they are Adam I will find everything brighter than it is intended to sound.
- To compensate that, is it possible (a future "wish" post) to add in the OUT block a selection of the EQ curves of the most common studio monitors so as to facilitate univocal listening?
