The biggest advantage of the iLoud MTM is its smaller size and weight. You can position them in tight spaces. It comes with a room calibration kit.
It has to be doing some fancy electronic wizardry to get them to emulate the bass response of typical 8" drivers from two 3.5" drivers.
One can easily understand the popular appeal of these monitors. They blend in as ideal desktop monitors whereas the HS8's will look bulky and awkward.
One should not forget that Yamaha makes an affordable 2.1 speaker system for the GENOS.

The satellites are even smaller than the iLoud MTMs. If the performance is adequate, why spend any more money?
