Frequently Asked Questions
The AMT offers superior transient response and detail retrieval, but can exhibit a more directional sound and potential for harshness at higher volumes if not positioned and EQ’d carefully.
While helpful, the filters are a supplement, not a replacement for proper acoustic treatment. They can mitigate common room issues but won't magically fix serious acoustic problems.
The 06 offers more low-end extension and higher SPL, making it suitable for larger rooms, while the 05 is more focused on accuracy and detail for smaller spaces and nearfield work.
