Genelec 8030c have a bit too loud self hiss for my 1 m near-field use, so looking for another solution. A bit limited in desk space so ideally not something a lot deeper than 20 cm.
Got a cheap and cheerful Presonus Sub8 that high passes above 80 Hz to deal with the low frequencies.
I see Neumann KH80 being mentioned, sonically and build quality wise the 8030C seems superior but I can't get on with the hiss. The 120A isn't much bigger, an has a full metal build?
KEF LSX has been mentioned, some say they are hissier than genelecs. LYD5 too, but there are also reports of hiss due to a cheap class D amp driving the tweeter.
Anything else to consider - I did look at the hiss thread.. Not producing professionally so don't need ruler flatness (although have though about doing room correction with REW).
