MA 1 vs GLM
Which one is better?

GLM is much more advanced and mature, but I wonder how their actual room correction filters compare.
GLM doesn't like boosting frequencies (only one, limited parametric boost is possible I believe) because of headroom.
I don't know MA1's approach because it doesn't give as much detail about what exactly it corrects. It only shows a curve which you can manually adjust.

MA1 is working fantastic for me. A night and day difference with for example Sonarworks.

Especially because of the comparison between a MA1-system and a GLM-system I am curious about @badboygolf16v ´s experience, even if it is certainly limited by the fact that the KH80 and the 8341 are in a different league.

Some time ago @Nicochu had compared a small desktop system in the direct near field here and bought both a complete, small Neumann and a small Genelec set - that was quite interesting.

From looking at your new proposed room layout monitor A and C are peripheral to you, so remove them and replace A with a bigger one with a higher resolution. You could also put one of them on top of A while removing the other one. This will free up much space on your desktop while not having...

Well MA1 vs. GLM vs. Dirac is the question for me...

His comparison is similar to what I experienced
Genelec - more instrument separation, more analytical sounding
Neumann - more "cohesive" sounding, a little more "musical" .
I like dissecting music and sounds so I tend to like the Genelec sound more.
I also like the tonality more.

So I suggest you finally make up your mind and buy a pair

Lol I decided a long time ago
But it takes time to save $$$

I can see reasons for people to consider starting a crowdfunding for you.

Lol
Thanks, I guess

No. The KH80 DSP can only control themselves. But the KH750 DSP can control the KH120A.

Thankyou. That’s a shame.

Is there a significant sound difference between the kh80 and kh120.
output seems to be fairly similar.
does the kh80 beam sound more, and the kh120 sound bigger In Far field listening.
also, does the kh80 distort more at higher volumes than kh120.

im considering 2 kh750 and kh120 instead of 1 kh750 and kh150.
it certainly seems to be better value for money.

 

[Pritaudio]

Also, why would you want to turn off the kh750, unless it is for quieter time listening.
does the kh750 allow pass through mode for attached kh120, for late night listening, without losing the calibrated settings for other times.

They are very much different:

 

[dickiefunk]

So the KH80dsp has less harmonic distortion?

Maybe not the thread to post this, but Stereophile are 'doing' the Genelec G3 very soon (ruler flat response apart from the usual Stereophile mid bass bump). Not sure why the G series exists, but if aimed at the domestic side (what's the difference?), it may be possible to get prosumer dealers to have these as well as the Neumann models.

The G series got RCA inputs. That's the only difference if my memory serves me correctly...

No, the other way around!

I owned the KH120s in the past and I personally much prefer the KH80s.
Yes the 120s go louder and have more bass, but the 80s just sound so much better in the mids for me. To me the 120 sounds muddy next to the 80.
The digital crossover does really seem to make a difference.
Because of that the KH80 is a much nicer companion for the KH750 sub.
