Doug McBride of Gravity Studios counts himself the loyal follower of a true radical: the Barefoot MicroMain27. At first look, this reference monitor's two-way plus-sub configuration may leave you a bit discombobulated, but once you actually hear a mix through them, you'll realize that the MM27s speak only the truth.

Mr. McBride talks about why Gravity went Barefoot, and about how the unique design yields more than just the expected audible benefits.
