  I got to hear these at NAMM as well and was blown away. Definitely on my list to check out.

  I have the Barefoots, upgraded from Neumann KH120a. At first they were hard to get used to as they are the opposite sound signature to the neumanns (the Neumanns sound warm and dark), but I gave them a chance. I worked on them for a while and got pretty used to them. In my opinion they beat the Neumann's in just about every way a speaker can be beaten. Excellent purchase; strongly recommended. My mixes are translating effortlessly and the most intricate details of the music are immediately apparent. Very fair price too!

  I think i had these monitors for 2 months and I absolutely love them. I never in my life paid this much for a monitor before but I had to have these. I went back and forth on reverb with so many monitors, some cost more and other were less. I don't regret the choice I made. They sound good and I'm loving the meme technology.

  I was already sure I wanted this pair as an upgrade from my current setup (shitty old jbls), and now you just made the update to be more urgent!!

  Added the Footprint 02s as our new main near fields. They are the most useful pieces of gear in the whole place. Ultra honest, while still being really fun to listen to. Incredible sound stage and depth of field. Some reference mixes that I've used for years suddenly had their flaws instantly exposed.

  DSP means their is another cycle of dac in your speakers, it’s what hypex does, its allowing you to eq your speaker results, I think it sucks, get great analog monitors and get your room together

  I know the ATC very well..... for me they are so good that I hate to work on them.... Nothing sounds good they are revealing and honest but that does not make them nice speakers for a home producer (EDM mostly) If I was a mix engineer only then maybe they would be the best choice but they are lack bit of bottom. My search ended with the focal SM-9 (best of both worlds for me) Nice to work on, accurate enough to deliver good translating mix and they are full range and can be midfield and nearfield with the focus button.

  hey, great review! especially interesting pov with comparison of these with atc's. did you measure with a sub? on your measurements both pairs go down to, like, 23hz with no problem, but on paper they go down to 45 or something

  Great video Thomas! It’s nice to see some measurements of these monitors. I have had my 03s for a couple months and they have been an absolute dream!<br><br>Side note: I’m going to try putting the tweeters in today just to see if I like it better. The default on these is tweeters out but the manual says you can do either way. The phantom center should be better tweeters in I would imagine.

  these monitors are more made for surround sound for home theatre or mixing movies therefore barefoot has a new line is the footprint 03C which is the centre speaker …
