Welcome, Ex Machina Soundworks! 🎉

[@papabrancamastering]

I got the Quasars in my studio. They Sound amazing. They are definitely worth the price.

[@romanx3267]

I love how’s he so excited about innovation. Can’t wait to hear the pulsars

[@TouchToneDSG]

I have the Pulsars MkII's and these are hands down the absolute best monitors I've ever heard

[@hybridanimal2087]

I’ve been fortunate enough to listen to their entire line in detail and what struck me is where many monitors fall apart. They sound the same at low volume as they do at higher volumes. The mix doesn’t collapse like on most speakers, all the frequency detail, stereo imaging, etc seems to be maintained. They are truly remarkable speakers across the line…

[@hithere4289]

Thank god for the technology we have today. If I had $15,000 first thing I would do is go out get a pair of these. Welcome Ex Machina!!!!

[@stevenholness1983]

I have the Pulsar MKII. Absolutely amazing. Worth it for sure!

[@C--A]

I'm jealous dude 😍🎶

[@Ultimate_Wasabi]

Whomever edited this doesn't know about coaxial speakers. He is speaking about the mid-range driver and they are showing the woofer on the bottom.

[@nathanaeldavenport2251]

I noticed that as well.

[@lescobrandon8045]

Sweetwater has the best service by a long shot.

[@nissebjorn9916]

Very interesting monitors and I really like the knowledge and passion for sound quality. That phase and group delay talk is so true. It is critical to get that right. I plan to visit a reseller to hear them out soon. High expectations 😊

[@CS-dp1ss]

Listening to the description of the drivers, one might think that Ex Machina developed them themselves. However, the drivers were developed by SEAS, possibly customised in detail to Ex Machina's wishes. Just take a look at the SEAS Metamodal TPCD C16NX001/X. SB Acoustics uses with TeXtreme a similar material for its cones in its Satori-Range. Nevertheless, very promising speaker I would love to listen to.

[@THEKITPLUG]

I would love to give these a try in my studio. This is the first I have heard of them, and it sounds like they did a lot of R&D to get the sound right.

[@foodstampz]

I have the Kali Audio in8 3 way and they sound great.

[@frankfarago2825]

And BTW, as of mid-February 2023.... you can get ALL the monitor brands and models sold by Sweetwater.... for about 30% less money here in Europe. Amazing that pro audio gear prices used to be the cheapest in the USA. Now they are the most expensive there of anywhere. Oh, the times we are living in, eh?

[@dougleydorite]

Interesting. I got many speakers sent to me by Sweetwater to demo, and am saving 20% off due to no taxes and a sale. I would talk them down more but I’m grateful to be getting so many speakers to demo

[@MrPeter924]

Great lnterview great show.

[@DavidChampoux]

One word….. WOW!!

[@Kharrari]

I would love to hear them.

[@musicxtech6680]

does it have an AES input? if they don't, will they add the input card in upcoming production? cuz of dsp and its internal converter, i dont want to convert twice...

[@tthedon2471]

seems good but why dsp?

[@drownedinwine]

Are these the first speakers since ESL63s that can do a square wave ?

[@dougleydorite]

Let me have digital inputs so I don’t need an unnecessary digital to analog AND analog to digital conversion. Let me bypass DSP for tracking… No latency, low latency, and full calibration. 3 modes - remote controllable so I don’t have to crawl around and hit two switches when I need to overdub something… I hope the firmware on these are update-able…

[@07BLUESTI]

Will the speakers work better if my nails are painted?

[@jmizzbeatsj-jigga7888]

Who got ten to twenty grand right now for this

[@MannyXO]

I’ve heard a lot of good stuff about them. I would love to try them. As a new company the price leaves you with a bitter sweet taste cause then I wanna be looking at ATCs. Tricky situation

[@mikeelkios436]

I have scm20a and heard the 25a and 150a . I'm selling my 20's and getting Pulsars. I also used to own genelec 8341a.

[@MannyXO]

So they’re that good? Im so curious now.

[@mikeelkios436]

Yeah they seem to combine attributes I like of both the others less the thing's I don't like about them . So I can't say I have heard better speakers before and that was the old Pulsar . I could also say I'm a bit of an ATC and Genelec fanboy but the Machinas are my new reference . I just have to sell my ATC now to get a set

[@tthedon2471]

@@mikeelkios436 try psi audio. i never understood why anybody would go with dsp

[@mikeelkios436]

@@tthedon2471 Hi dude I think PSI I are good bur not in the same league the Bass drivers for a start are similar to entry level SB acoustics . I used to do a lot of DIY so can see why the Exmachinas do so well . Our music nearly all ends up in the digital domain at some stage . I will never own another set of ported speakers either . Ports are not needed these days better built woofers with a lot of linear travel is what it's all about . There is no excuse for a port in a flagship state of the art product . If a port is required build a better woofer .

[@lk0707]

good science behind design, but still too expensive. there is few other models that sounds also soo good, for much better price.

[@mikeelkios436]

So you have heard a set of the mk2 ?

[@tonugamu]

interesting talk that i don’t get most of the excitement

[@frankfarago2825]

Yeah, right. Their 3-way with the 2-in-1 mid-high combination driver on the top looks about the same as the Kali 3-way. Except that the Kalis costs less then one-tenth of the heady $7,000 price tag of the Ex Machina. "Made in Brooklyn, USA" sounds great.... just not that much great.

[@DaMixWizard]

🤣🤣🤣 $10,000 & $14,000 after taxes in the state of Texas 🤣🤣🤣...Momma said Knock U Out🤜🏽🤡🤛🏽

[@iamcrisis187]

All that talk to try and justify the price... smh

[@Screaming-Trees]

Great, another DSP speaker. Just what everybody asked for. No thanks. I think we'll stick to analogue only. We use Geithain 901k which are also coaxial but fully analogue.

[@d3vp131]

Good for you, why do you care enough to post?

[@Screaming-Trees]

@@d3vp131 Because I'd like this dubious trend to stop. You don't care about trends in our industry I guess?

[@lescobrandon8045]

@@Screaming-Trees This guy is a fanboy, he just got done attacking me about my opinion of them. Simply put you could own a Jupiter 8, a JUNO, and an original Moog Model D for that price, and I run them all through a set of Kali Audio LP8s. The best way to deal with garbage is don't by it.

[@dspoet1]

The prices though!! 🤣🤣🤣. Way more better options at lower price points.

[@goodboid]

And you know this how? Have you heard them?

[@dspoet1]

@@goodboid Because I know. That’s why.

[@GearLover]

Well, it depends on the end user. A sought after engineer who charges $500-$1000 an hour probably has a lot more use for speakers like these versus someone who mixes/masters for a hobby/fun. Also, these would be a tax write-off for a large studio as a business expense that you can depreciate over time. With the higher price of these speakers, you also get a better warranty to back up the product compared to something cheaper. If you think these are expense, just look at some of the PMC speakers!

[@mikeelkios436]

@@dspoet1 What are the better options at cheaper prices?

[@hithere4289]

[@lescobrandon8045]

You could buy a Jupiter 8, and an original Moog Model D for these prices. Let that sink in. Kali is just fine for me.

[@goodboid]

It depends on how much money you make from your productions. ATC speakers can be twice as expensive, Abbey Road studio uses B&W Nautilus 800 Diamonds, price is all subjective.

@@mikeelkios436 In your own words (not numbers in a manuel) what's the difference between say a Kali LP8 and Genelec? I'll wait for your non technical response.

[@mikeelkios436]

@@lescobrandon8045 Yeah sure . Jump over to audioscience review compare the 8361a graphs . I think the Kali is a great speaker but as you go up on multiples of price you are getting proven better sound . Maybe take your Kali and see how it goes compared to a Pulsar its time domain performance will make a huge difference let alone the headroom of the amps available .

[@lescobrandon8045]

They'll go out of businesses because of the price. Ridiculous. The speakers could be made out of gold, and still wouldn't be worth 20 Gs.

[@d3vp131]

Price is relevant. If you’ve never heard them in a proper room there is no way to say what it’s worth. If you can’t afford them, then say that.

[@lescobrandon8045]

@@d3vp131 Here we go with the audio snobs. They are speakers when you play music through them they go boom boom. You can buy a carbon car kit cheaper than that. And yes I can afford them.

[@nathanaeldavenport2251]

They'll stay in business because of the price. They cater to a very small market, so they have to build a very high performance product and add a healthy margin to it make the business viable. It's the same with things like exotic instruments, say... contrabassoons. They cost a small fortune, because the target market is so small and they are so labor intensive to make. If Kali monitors work for you, then more power to you. But I don't understand why you're so wound up about a product that you're clearly not interested in. Write some more songs dude. Hopefully you'll find some peace.

[@dougleydorite]

I see their price as “fair” for what they offer. Every speaker has insane mark ups when you cost individual parts, yet we keep buying, right?
