Hello guys. So maybe some remember me a few months ago I was trying to decide which monitors buy but I decided to expend more money into it (like 6000 range) of course I can go up if it's worth it.
My usage is in a 7mx4m room (aprox 30m2 or 80m3) at 2m-2.25m distance. Between 85-95db SPL.
Music and movies so the sub is a must for the LFE. Always sitting in the sweet spot (couch). I like flat sound the nearest possible as the recording was made/mastered.
So based on that I have decided that KH150 was a better investment instead of KH120II, and paired with two subwoofers because it's what Neumann recommends for pairing the SPL of the KH150.
So I was wondering if for this money is the best I can get or there is any better, for example: (I would love to get Dutch 8C by the way, but too much money haha).
- KH 150 + 2x KH750 = EUR 5900
- Genelec 8341 + 7360 = EUR 7300 (3 way, Cons: Lot more money)
- Genelec 8341 + 2x 7350 = EUR 7738 (3 way, Cons: Same)
- Genelec 8351 without sub = EUR 8000 (Cons: No sub)
- Wait for the new KH310II + 2x KH750 = Probably they will be 5000 pair aprox so something like = EUR 8000 (3 way)
- Other option... Like KEF R3 meta, etc? In Spain where I live I can't finde any Ascend Acoustic Sierras or Revels so I am just stuck with KEF in the passive ones.
Of course we don't even know how the KH310II will measure and if it will be worth the difference of money, but I trust that they will be like KH150 but better due to the 3 way design.
So in the end I am 90% towards a Neumann solution because the price/performance ratio. But not sure If I should wait almost 1 year or pick them up right now. Maybe you can help me.
Thanks!
