My regular monitors, Neumann KH310s, are a sealed cabinet 3 way design but the Image 2s are 75% of the price of my Neumanns and offer onboard speaker calibration. To offer these features in a 3 way design at this price point is worth paying attention to. The Genelec and Neumann monitors offer DSP and the Focal offers a 2 in 1 Focus mode similar to the Image 2’s Cubemix mode. But how far up the price ladder does this ‘value goodwill’ extend?Īt nearly $2K per box the Image 2s have some very respectable competition from well known manufacturers, for example the Genelec 8340A, Neumann KH150 or Focal Solo6. Great value is something of a killer feature and products which are built to a price should always be viewed as such, with the inevitable compromises being correctly seen as a consequence of their good value. These monitors, particularly the FX80, offered a good sounding monitor which represented really impressive value at just $249 each. I’ve previously auditioned both the FX80 and FX50 from Fluid.
