I was wondering why or how this speaker has the same preference rating as the KH80DSP.
(6.2)
But sounds far better. To me, to Armin, and of course to Neumann.
is it greater maximum SPL (less restrictions from dynamic compression); less harmonic or IM distortion? is it the the way the larger and/or
more drivers radiate/combine sound?
Are we getting closer to understanding some of the limitations of the “preference” rating?
And can preference ratings be used to compared 2 ways, to 3 ways, to 4 ways?
Is it possible for 2 way speaker with 83dB/2.83V sensitivity and F3 35Hz with the same preference rating be compared to
a 3 way speaker with 93dB/2.83V sensitivity and 15” woofer and F3 of “only” 50Hz? With the same preference rating?
