Exactly: once we agree on the terms 'perfect' and 'better', of course! :)

I'm not certain why it's been suggested that the Neumann's are "better" than the Genelec option? The data in the reviews does not seem to suggest that. Indeed, Amir suggests that: "I think the KH420 has deeper bass. The Genelec a bit better overall tonality." For those who use GLM to pair the...

Hi FrantzM, where is Amir' review?

Yes, apart from the above noted potential benefits and already acknowledged risks, that is always going to be a possibility for any impression gained without measurement. Thank goodness for Amir and this site (and our hearing). :)

Genelec’s R&D confirmed that sample rate conversion is always performed, even when the input sample rate matches the DSP processing rate. While this means that SRC wasn’t technically bypassed in my setup, the change I made—aligning my streamer’s output to 96 kHz—still resulted in an audible...

I appreciate the clarification. My understanding from Genelec UK was that matching the input sample rate to the DSP processing rate minimizes unnecessary sample rate conversion (SRC). However, I’ll reach out to Genelec directly to confirm whether SRC is fully bypassed at 96 kHz input and report...

Yes, the dsp processing in the 8361A occurs at 96 kHz.

I hear and appreciate your scepticism about the audibility of the difference made by matched sample rates here. I can only say that the immediacy of perception for me was on listening (per chance) to Louis Armstrong & His All Stars performing 'St. James' Infirmary' immediately following the...

I'm not sure how I would link my laptop to the AES/EBU on the 9320A. At the moment it's USB.

For those of us who stream, it is beneficial to ensure that the DSP circuitry of the 8361A and W371A is matched by your streamer (in my case that's both Roon and my Dell XPS-15). This minimizes sample rate conversion. For me, that meant setting both Roon and my laptop to a sampling output rate...

As was said earlier: needs, environment and budget are key factors in assessing the Ones. At the level that you're discussing, technological accuracy (hi-fi) is never the issue.

I feel we are drifting a little too far from the topic (8361A and optimising its performance). Maybe, as suggested by Espirit earlier, a new thread would be more fitting for much of this new strand of conversation? The 8361A - when optimised - can afford complete excellence in hifi reproduction...

You can now get a pair of 8381A's for £60k (GBP). Not cheap, but a lot cheaper than at release?

Although I believe this is usually for surround sound systems. No?

I hear you, but I now use my 8361A's about 10 feet apart and in the corners (GRADE having identified best performance there) and I sit about 10 feet from each speaker (for that good old equilateral triangle). My 7360A subs both sit in the centre between the monitors. What I am getting with...
