IK Multimedia iLoud MTM - White

You can´t take away that these have fantastic sound - up to the moment you raise the volume a bit. And I am saying a bit, not even a lot. The rear reflex port will start emitting a most unpleasant sound - and that´s that, really. Forget about ever listening to anything above a polite sound level. I can not see any way out of this, except buying a quality subwoofer and freeing the MTMs from the lower spectrum. Not really what I expected and for - at that point - over 1300 combined with a decent subwoofer there are a lot of options out there.

I was aware that clipping would also occur at far, far less than ear splitting levels - but again, I was shocked how soon that really was. And trust me, I am not listening to my mixes at very high volume.

So again, are these worth the price, considering that you will never, ever be able to play them semi-loud, or with a decent bass ? I don´t think so, and can definitely not recommend them, even with the gorgeous mid and high, all the more when considering what is out there around the same price.
