I was incorrect about the pure direct mode. It does not cancel out the MCACC settings. I just picked an empty MCACC memory location. This has 0.0 db in all channels, no EQ, no x-curve deviations. totally flat.
CatBrat, what I meant by less fatiguing is that I don't seem to strain to hear the details. Like high-hat cymbals bein ticked very lightly. Sort of like discerning the details easier. What's interesting is when I play the Axiom with the Aperion MCACC settings, of course they are louder, but the Axioms sound distorted. Too much power, I guess? I don't do this long, only a minute or two, because i don't want to damage the speakers, if that is possible.
