Hi to all guys!
I’m actually becoming crazy choosing the right configuration for my room and which monitor would better fit.
I need to produce and mix music.
I read all the measurements here and I really like the Neumann’s monitors.
My old monitors were the A77X’s from Adam Audio, that I actually liked but obviously not for linearity and dynamics.
My room seems to not affect my frequency response too much(at least I don’t have comb filtering); I have some measurements of my older A77X done with REW.
Those new speakers will be positioned 5 to 10cm from the wall behind them.
My room is:
5m long x 4m wide x 2.8 tall
My listening position is around 110 to 140cm.
The room is untreated, and maximum SPL near 90dB.
My selection would be between those options:
2x KH80 DSP + 2x 750DSP
2x KH150 DSP (plus one future 750DSP probably) (that speakers aren’t available at the moment and not measured, but seems actually that Neumann speakers performs all similar so I would expect a “fuller” KH80)
2x KH310 + Dirac Live
Does someone listened those speakers together (except the KH150 obviously)?
My observations concluded that the KH80 + 2 Subs would be great but I don’t know if that ~4” Woofer(+small cabinet) actually reproduce a good upper bass (nearly 140 to 180Hz) and low mids; I really like the “in your face” presentation of kick drums (that actually a 310 would have).
The KH150 on the other hand would have actually a 6.5 woofer (that to me result a good “sweet spot”) but here costs to me exactly what I pay for the 310 (if the price is the ~1600€ MSRP)
The KH310 are fantastic speakers but they are actually a bit “old” at the moment, so something “future-proof” is preferred.
After all of those descriptions, which combination/speaker would you choose?
Many thanks in advance to all and hope that this post actually could help someone in my same situation.
