Recording - September 2015 - 25
Unlike the twotwo.5, which does have its limits when it comes to low end
extension, the twotwo.6 is absolutely massive, and competes favorably with
many 8" monitors I have used. Overall I would call the low end full and forceful, but not exaggerated or too "sub-like". It's a low end that fills the space, but
not so much that you question its translation to other systems. Also, as with my
previous twotwo experience, this speaker's low end remains full, even, and
believable at moderate and low listening levels, thanks to the ATL design.
Conclusion: sometimes more is more
I wrapped up my previous review with the conclusion that as a main/only
monitor, the twotwo.5 was a tad small for my 12.5' x 15.5' treated space,
although it was worth its weight in gold as a secondary mixing monitor. The
twotwo.6, on the other hand, is a perfect sonic match for a room my size... so
much so that I fear that if the jump from the twotwo.6 to the twotwo.8 is anything like the jump from the 5 to the 6, the twotwo.8 would probably be
overkill for my room! It's always good to remember that bigger is not always
better when it comes to rooms and monitoring. Fortunately for engineers eager
to have this exceptional sound in rooms of all sizes, the twotwo lineup covers
a range of sizes that should suit most if not all small- to medium-sized rooms.
At $5000 street price per pair, the twotwo.6 is not what you'd call a budget monitor. But the expense of owning a set is one that I am seriously considering as I wrap up this review and face the possibility of having to send
these speakers back. The twotwo.6 fits my room and workflow like a glove,
and as with the twotwo.5, all of the mixes I have been doing on them translate wonderfully.
I review a lot of marvelous monitors from a lot of fantastic makers, large and
small, old-school and cutting-edge. I couldn't afford to keep them all, and I wouldn't have space for them anyway! But these monitors may end up as the reference
against which I compare future offerings that come into my studio.
Price: $4999.95/pair
