Well, I've just unboxed and hooked up my mono Avantone MixCube and it's a revelation!
It's immediately obvious why this mono cube approach is recommended for balancing mixes, setting reverb levels, checking for distortion on the vocal, etc. There's no crossover distortion and mid-range is what the cube is all about.
Listening to some old stereo mixes on my mono cube I can hear that I'll be revisiting those mixes and tweaking a bit here and there. Getting a mono mix cube may well be the most important purchase I've made since getting RealTraps. You can judge balance so easily it feels like it must be cheating somehow.
I'll report further here when I get more time. To be continued...
