I'd love to try One18 again, but it's been a while. They were great and I didn't feel I was missing low frequency information. I was coming from PSI A21M so the One18 were the logical, natural choice. The bass is not hyped nor exagerated on either of those models / brands. It just reaches low enough to make infromed decisions.

Then I moved into a smaller room and now I'm happy with the One15 at nearfield distance. They are faster, more opiniated and you cannot bend your mixes against the nature of the material you are presented with, if that makes sense. They guide me like a dog. I'm happy to have the Flexbase, though for some thumping energy, and for clients when tracking.

I keep the One12 for 5.1 duties or remote sessions, stuff like that (not often do I get gigs requiring 5.1 though). The One12 are more like a mini One18 in their character, than a smaller One15 IME. They are relaxed and natural sounding. You wouldn't believe the amount of lows those little guys are outputting without farting.

I moved from KH310’s to One18’s. I’ve been a frequent poster in this thread about the switch, but to summarise my thoughts:

KH310:
- sound bigger, more impressive to clients
- much more microdetail, quite a zoomed in presentation
- more sub low end with a tighter low end presentation
- more forward high mids
- better at showing saturation - was like i could hear individual grains of distortion
- boring and uninspiring. devoid of character (someone here described them very accurately as a studio monitor for universities)


One18:
- better imaging and phantom centre
- better dynamics, both macro and micro
- noticeably better phase coherence
- potentially faster overall
- superior depth, easier to hear reverb and delay trails
- high frequencies easier to differentiate from one another
- more of a zoomed out presentation
- much more musical and inspiring

I would implore you to hear them both in the same space as they’re quite different presentations. KH310 is more typical studio monitor voicing.

My instant response was Two18’s so I’ll post that and then update if I think differently later
