I'm not sure why these speakers are not given more column inches, but really they are brilliant. Highly recommend. crossover network coupled with professional drivers making it ideal for even the most demanding near-field audio Do not confuse these speakers with the standard control speakers. For starters the pro version have 135mm speaker as opposed to 100mm

With the rigging choices of 'on top of a wardrobe' or 'not on top of a wardrobe', I opted for the latter. I lifted down the offending unit and discovered that the two boxes were entirely different flavours of thing. Audio output sounded like it was passing through particularly tired marshmallows — two different types of marshmallow, of course.As for friends here, they are not considered as much as they should be imo, probably due to the `techy' looks.

Dosnt really matter if you do confuse them with the 135mm studio version, the smaller Control 1's are excellent in their own right.

Well, compared to hearing audio through two different wardrobe-mounted (or not) fluffy-floofy, clarity-free boxes of doom, really very good indeed. I remember listening to a Handel extract that I had carefully carved out using [Adobe] Audacity for a particular cue, and at that moment, it was one of the best things I had ever heard. Context counts for a lot, and is perhaps worth remembering in every aspect of creating audio for a live performance.As for sub integration, I have mine wall and corner mounted so gain boundary lift, I found 60-80Hz settings sound best, it will depend somewhat on room size and environment though of course.
