I flipped my KEFs over, it doesn't seem to do much.

Don't try to flip KEFs, that is impossible, instead try to realise the truth, it is not KEF's that need flipping, it is you

[@SpressoMan]

Hey Zeos, great video. 8:56 The letter U in a circuit diagram stand for "Unity" which is the position on a potentiometer where there is zero gain, zero attenuation. It's (mathematically speaking) 1:1 which is unity. This is significant, because the circuit is (in my layman's terms) a pass-through circuit where nothing is being electrically done to the signal. In practical terms, it's my starting point for any signal; because I know the signal isn't being affected by the circuit.

[@colinlynn6943]

The U stands for unity gain which is the same as 0db

[@jdillinger2307]

BTW, tilting the speaker to the left or right vs upright or upside down has absolutely no affect on timing differences. Phase correlation is a function of time = distance * speed of sound. Whether your tweeter is 3” from your mid/woofer to the north or to the east doesn’t matter as much as the angle of incidence. This is why some prefer the co-axial monitor options. Personally, I can’t tell bugger all when listening on such tiny speakers. Though, when you start working on front of house mixes with speakers spread throughout an auditorium, the difference is much more noticeable and absolutely needs to be time corrected to prevent phase cancellation.

[@willhickman3756]

Been running these monitors with their studio sub for years now,,,, I put the piece of electrical tape over the LED logo. The combo of the Presonus monitors and PreSonus sub (8") rocks hard! It plays a lot louder cleanly than I can stand(a good thing). Want loud and clear? check! Also, if you get the matching subs from the same company the in/out are REA, 1/4 plug, and XLR. You can set the gain, slope as well as cut off the output at 80/100Hz. So if you want to use it with other speakers/amp or other studio monitors you can without a lowpass cut off if needed. for my setup I'm running all XLR cables.

[@hakki1999]

Without watching this video, i for myself can just say that i went with 1500$ to a music store hyped for the Neumann KH120 and end up buying the Eris for 300$ / Pair ! after hearing all different kind of music on them. I was shocked how good they are....so now i will watch your vid...

Back in the days I was torn between these and the 305s. Your review made me get the 305s and I loved them ever since. I think I might have actually discovered your channel through their review.

[@TheWiseMonk]

I really appreciate the fact that you talk about all the essential real-life usage scenarios. I'm planning to purchase iLoud micros for my Home Studio but I'm reevaluating my options again for a long-term investment for mixing music. I'm considering the Presonus E5 as well.

[@kevinhamlett1400]

Did you get the Presonus? I own them I like them.

[@CyberKazak93]

Great review. E4.5 is my very first pair of studio monitors ever. Just looking at them on my desk makes me want to become a dj (and I always wanted to become one)

[@junejhunkie]

U stands for unity. It’s equivalent zero dbv. You’ll see U on most pro sound equipment. Analog mixing consoles comes to mind.

[@Xaikar]

Was weighing between these and the 305Ps. Went with the Eris 5s due to the flatter response as I'm looking for accuracy over a good listening experience. Thanks for this comparison/review!

[@palakchaudhary562]

18:11 Aight I'mma head out

[@jamecoyote836]

Got the 4.5's and the active one melted playing brown noise through it. It always got very hot but the constant noise turned it into an oven. I hated them from the start, the tweeter blew after a few months with light use. Got Adam T5V's on the back of your review & love them.

[@bitdevice]

All class AB amplifiers get hot and there is nothing wrong with that. Also E4.5 are crap in comparison to E5, there is no comparison (I have both). I think it's mainly because E4.5 is not bi-amped and uses passive filters.

[@yogiwp_]

Strange, I've never ever got that "voice coming from up there" effect with normal placement, nearfield or otherwise.

[@zeprls]

I would love to hear an explanation of how the timing is off between the 2 drivers if you turn the speaker sideways.....

[@yogiwp_]

@John Hooper It seem to happen all the time to Z, so really curious if I am or we're both the odd ones.

[@muhammadarifjaya4542]

most of nearfield speaker do have phantom center (or should I say all of them) but to get them is by getting you on the right place or the listening sweet spot (with the triangle length rule), I use HS7 and it have that if I perfectly at the sweet spot. Z maybe just saying that but mentioning it as 'you get the sweet spot on this speaker really easy '

[@noahbirdrevolution]

I get some height in imaging - mid high register singers and cymbals, ect up high and bass, kick ect down low, but that is what is expected. But I don't get exaggerated imaging where there is a little person standing on my desk singing down to me. I wonder if there is a room issue for Z.

[@muhammadarifjaya4542]

@@noahbirdrevolution check your DAC, audio source, and your own ear.. if the top two is already on high tier then your ear already worn out or Z just got the golden ears.. the special group of people that could sense frequency even at negative value, I recently know this after taking a through out listening test lab

[@WeebLabs]

I owned the MR624s and T5Vs for a few weeks but found the former to be quite deficient in the mids, with moderate tweeter breakup. The AMTs in the Adams were lovely and ultimately led me down the pricey ribbon rabbit hole. There's a fun term; Ribbon Rabbit Hole.

[@aithemed]

Edifier FTW

[@madarcturian]

Curious about those, I think they have good amps. Noticing a lot of Class D shadyness on monitors now.

[@WeebLabs]

@Jack Mehoff Yes, I would definitely recommend the T5Vs for those use cases.

[@foznoth]

The Temblor subwoofer matches perfectly, you run the xlrs to the subwoofer then passed on to the speakers. The Temblor cuts out the low frequencies, but has a pedal cutout to pass everything. I have two pairs of these, but they are getting demoted to second room, but they are still superb. Nice to see something I actually have reviewed.

[@hakki1999]

[@joel.2106]

I would really like to see you review the Presonus Temblor T10. A 10“ sub under 400€ claiming to go down to 20 Hz!?!

[@willhickman3756]

I have their Tembor T8 and it kicks ass! I can only imagine how much boomier the T10 would be. In my opinion, the T8 gives such a great balance with the base without it being ridiculous. The bass is tight and fast! Also, if you get the matching subs from the same company the in/out are REA, 1/4 plug, and XLR. You can set the gain, slope as well as cut off the output at 80/100Hz. So if you want to use it with other speakers/amp or other studio monitors you can without a lowpass cut off if needed. I'm using all XLR cables.

[@Lquiyasm]

I have one, as my livngroom setup matched with JBL 305 gen1, it OK but can not put the gain nob ANY higer than te lowest seting or it goes BOOMBOMMBOM totally overpowering the jbls,

[@SaraBearRawr0312]

@@willhickman3756 I've been looking at getting the T8 for a few weeks now, I saw online that people have said it has a 10 minute standby timer that can't be adjusted or disabled so if you go for 10 minutes without any sound it will go into standby and then have to take a few seconds to wake up one you push sound back through it. Can you substantiate that?

[@mattshalash]

I own the Presonus Temblor T10, It doesn't feature a standby mode as far as I understand and the manufacturer doesn't specify such a feature. Regarding the 20Hz to 200Hz specification, it's not entirely true. The sub bottoms out at about 30 to 31 Hz in a medium sized room. Rear controls and sub bypass are super useful and the sound is not boomy at all, very detailed and tight bass response. Wish the front grille was removable though :/

[@willhickman3756]

TJW595 the stand by is not adjustable. The only issue with it is that you have to have the volume set more than just minimum or it thinks there isn’t a signal and going into standby and the signal is cut to the speakers. That my only issue. Other than that, it an amazing sub for its size. Great for office/ desk set up.

Did you ever try the eris 3.5? I've heard they're pretty much the same speaker but with smaller drivers

[@NightmareFactory830]

I have em, really good entry for flat sounding monitors

[@oleadsr8186]

they dont have such full-bodied sound that Eris 5 have. 3.5 are practically good table speaker - clear, very compact, aux in and out, volume control and all on the FRONT, but very specific and i personally didnt like them as table speaker. Got fatigue of very detailed information with bass rolled down too early on 70hz. Cant mix electronic music with them. I think they may be are good for mixing vocals/speach and classics. Scene, detalisation same as bigger models, sweet mids. But I found them good for loud listening standing outside of my desk! When played loud it seems more balanced - you start hearing some bass and heighs become not so fatigue. You can enjoy loud music without crazy BOOM BOOM BOOM. IMO 3.5 BT version is worth buying for listening loudly (e.g. from another rooms of the house) as its compact yet powerful.

[@DerMBen]

@@oleadsr8186 can't you adjust the bass and trebble ?

[@oleadsr8186]

@@DerMBen maybe i can adjust treble, but you know.. its not annoying.. I prefer to leave treble as is not to make it muddy. But you cant adjust bass, because due to roll-off they are not producing bass below certain frequency. Even they still make a sound and you can somehow make it louder you will not be pleased.

Why the E5s and not the E5 XTs? Maybe you could do the XTs down the line and compare them 🤔

Agree the XT's is the new updated model and have a nice waveguide on the tweeter. I have a pair of E8 XT's and really love them.

[@BrianWalters97]

the XT's are really nice, i have both (E5 and the E5XT) but the price difference is not worth it in my opinion. The difference is pretty small and the XT's are way bigger (is size matters, my room isnt that big). I use the XT's because i sold the E5's to my brother but the XT's are 299euro here and the E5 210 euro, so yeah, easy pick for me haha.

@@BrianWalters97 Does the xt version have the effect he described in the video of creating a less accurate but wider sound stage?

[@BrianWalters97]

@@ciuffo4928 When A/B testing them i found the XT to sound a bit more spacious indeed but not that worse in accuracy. The two are pretty similar but if you want to use them as fun speakers with multiple people in the room i think the XT is more suitable, but with that said, they are nearfield monitors so they are great when sitting in the sweetspot like when mixing audio but i wouldnt recommend them as party speakers or something.

I'm in the same boat. I want them, but they're a little too expensive to just buy on impulse. But no stores has them available for demo. It's frustrating haha

[@glenis83]

I have the Sceptre S6's and I would highly recommend them. I don't have a whole lot of experience with studio monitors so not much to compare them to other than my passives, but from the moment I set them up I was freaking impressed. Play some well mixed tracks and you will be in love. I'm also picky about aesthetics since I don't have a studio, these sit on my desk at home. The S6's are ridiculously big (imagine the 8's are even more ridiculous) but the sound they produce just wins me over, stopped caring about how much space they take up as soon as I heard them. I've bought and sold quite a few speakers but Sceptre's are too damn good to even consider selling. Hope that helps!

Greetings from Finland! I have been watching your videos for about two months now. You are super funny (and pro) and make me smile in this shitty world! Just four days ago I bought this Eris E5's with 10" sub (both used under 1 year) for 160€. I tested Adam T7V for 2 weeks and these are so must better to my setup and room size and sub gives (with a very low volume) hint of kick and warmness to these. This is honey to my ears...btw... What is that vertical monitor? Your setup is so cool!

[@theosamma3a60]

Have had the E5s for a few years now, absolutely love them. Added the Temblor T8 sub a few months ago and it really completes the system. Doesn't go down into those ultra deep subbass frequencies, but it's still surprisingly powerful for the size. Also got the iFi iTube 2 and use its bass boost at +6 to compensate for those lower freqs...sounds incredible.

[@weeooh1]

You can cover the blue lights with black electrical tape. So not sure why it would be a factor for anyone interested in buying these speakers.

[@GregorMima]

Running here the cheaper Eris 4.5 after some testing... Also pretty awesome. The smaller 3.5 are also great (4.5 had more punch i needed)

[@thatchinaboi]

Best sounding value monitors. I highly recommend paired with a sealed studio subwoofer.

[@Gilvin]

Wow, never have thought about flipping my Eris E5. I've just test them for a good hour. Don't know if my ISO Acoustics have anything to do with it (I have the setting that those stands tilt towards the listener), I found out the bass is relatively flat and loose, but the mid and high are separated in a nice way. The sound before flipping was just concentrated on my forehead, dead centered, uncomfortable sometimes, but the bass is tight and dynamic. Thanks for providing this kind of setup, Z.

[@MultiGolonka]

If you had to choose between those and Edifier R2750 for general purpose - music/videos/gaming but also occasional guitar playing and rarely mixing, which would you choose?

[@IvanStoev]

[@mikoaja.2413]

would you go for them or ilouds micro? For entry-level mixes in an untreated room

[@kenabi]

i have a pair of these, i run them sideways. not sure i'd trade them for much of anything. oh, and they do get warm. not hot, just warm.

[@phalanger1]

Thanks for this. Was considering buying these speakers for (amateur) homestudio use and to upgrade my current cheapo computer speakers. After this video it seems confirmed that they would be a good choice. However did you say they use 130W? Is that during idle or load? A piece or combined? They will be running pretty much all day and that number seems fairly high, would expect that with class A maybe. Do you find thats typical for powered speakers that size?

[@phalanger1]

To answer my own question, they luckily dont use 130W. They use about 25W for the pair. Adam T5V however uses only 1W per speaker at typical volume. So T5V are definitely the more suitable ones for keeping on 24/7. These are measure values, not theoretical.

I think it might integrate well and give me an exciting feeling during production.

[@prodnoyse]

@@TheBeeOBee do you feel the bass is sufficient enough without a sub?

[@TheBeeOBee]

@@prodnoyse For sure. I have the -2 setting on it right now. It sounds balanced and punchy. With smaller monitors you're going to have to check sub lows on headphones anyway. I think the lows, mids, and highs sound great on these. My best speakers in the past were Adam A7, but I had many other brands of monitors too. These punch above their weight sound wise for me.

[@theenhancer]

Yesssssssss more Presonus stuff. These were in the running for me against JBL LSR 305s(Adam T5Vs are double the price of E5s or 305s here). IMHO they have better bass than the JBLs, but since I was planning on adding a subwoofer I ended up with the JBLs. I hope to see more of their range in your testing. I've heard good things about their subwoofers, and I'm super curious about their E66 MTMs.

Zeos do you think these would sound different when used with an audio-interface? Given that these are powered studio monitors, producers will be connecting those to their audio-interface. According to some producers as well, most audio-interfaces are superior to most commercial dacs/pre-amps. For example, motu 2x2, audient id4, and SSL2 come to mind (maybe even focusrite scarlet, or presonus).

can you please tell me what speaker stands you’re using? need some asap and really considering the eris e5’s. did not like my adam a5x’s because of the super piercy high end. do you think i’d be happy with these? i need front ported speakers and non metal tweeters. do you recommend these over any other ones? i’m definitely working on mixed and making my own music.

[@prodnoyse]

and do you recommend to turn them upside down instead of keeping them regularly upright?

[@JTTheITGuy]

These vs LSR305s??

[@gordak985]

Can someone who owns these speakers tell me if they sound good "on the side". Like here they are on their head, I would place them on their side, but sound image concerns me.

[@ryuvereignnolife3980]

Can you tell me what monitor you use?

[@EdWilsonPhoto]

Many of your fans watch ONLY to see your speaker reviews.

[@oliverventurin]

Hi, can you try Kef LSX? you have already heard them, I should take them to use PC speakers but I hate monitors because they are not very musical and too analytical, in short, a listening that tires

[@rockfella27]

I really think you're late to review these marvelous underated brand/speakers. I should have got the E44/66 mtm.

[@angellotomic]

The camera moves so fast that it simply cannot be viewed. I can't look at your material how much my head hurts. He would have a lot more reviews if he solved it.

[@dbk555]

How many reviews more do you think?

[@sickedhero286]

Hi Z,can you review Takstar MT5 powered monitor??..its a 1st generation powered monitor from takstar..

[@oskarmihalovic3903]

[@bertrandrancourt3669]

I wonder if they work with mobile devise ( android ) ?I want set a turntable but I want also listen online music on them something , there is no issue/.problem on that side , don't care wire-it. Thank you .

[@skydwellingmusic]

Just bought E5 XTs for mixing. Curious how they stack up to these as they have a waveguide on the tweeter.

[@remshawmusiek7565]

These or the Mackies? Mr624

[@BostonCommonBand]

Pretty sure Fulcrum Acoustics designed them, then licensed to Presonus.

[@venchenzo4493]

How do these compare to the emotivas

[@Rizamusic]

These or Neumann KH80/120?

[@nl_2652]

Gonna do the E8s too?

[@oleadsr8186]

E5 are build like you stole them from an army warehouse - very reliable. Nice mid-bass speaker design. Love this color. The only bad thing about them that the frequency responce doesnt go as low to sub bass as JBL. So when E5 plays sounds below 60 hz sometimes it sounds like an unpleasant humm for me.

[@myownopinion6676]

What JBL are you referring?
