Well, I have found myself wishing for at least a mention of driver sizes when I wasn't familiar with the model at hand. That would be nice, it gives you a rough idea of what to expect at least.I am not going to be a great resource for you all on functionality and features of products. Best to seek out such feedback elsewhere.
Rokit "5" gives a good clue tough, but I get your feeling, we don't always have the time to go and find spec sheets.Well, I have found myself wishing for at least a mention of driver sizes when I wasn't familiar with the model at hand.

More hiss?
I understand, then can you if possible show the most prominent 2nd and 3rd order distortions?That would make the graph impossible to read then. It would be 10 traces on top of each other.
I have 8030Cs too.Alright, alright..come on... I have the 8030c's, and they're quiet. They aren't silent, but they are better than even my previous Focal Solo 6 be's.
That said, they're flatter, better directivity, and have better THD response overall. Not sure about loudness. I think any 2 way utilizing a 5" driver is going to suffer above 90dB.
I went from Presonus R65 (very bad), Genelec 8030C (better, but still annoying) to Neumann KH 80 DSP (least annoying hiss). According to Hiss List KH 120 is even more quiet.I'm still after a pair of quiet monitors to put right near my PC in the other room.
Hmm, my contacts are dry so I can barely read but if I'm reading the list correctly, comparing the KH120 to the KH80, it's 19.9 vs 20.0 dBA... well within the margin of errorI went from Presonus R65 (very bad), Genelec 8030C (better, but still annoying) to Neumann KH 80 DSP (least annoying hiss).

If one can hear the hiss over music playing, then there's a system problem IMO. Something is sending noise along with the music, greater than the speakers' general noise floor/self noise.
Hiss is Very annoying in general though, I have to admit...and you can't EQ it out...lol.
Indeed. Classical can be very demanding of an audio system. I can definitely appreciate where you're coming from! Blame the noise floor of the mics in the recording. kidding.In classical music, there are a lot of quiet / silent moments.
Maybe that's why a lot of us don't ever hear any hiss in our Genelecs or Neumanns, I tried once to stream classical music from Tidal and I have to crank almost double the volume compared to normal to hear those quiet passages, even though at those levels I still don't detect at 70cm listening distance. just wondering would that be the 220v mains are cleaner here.In classical music, there are a lot of quiet / silent moments.
All a means to an end. Hopefully they produce low distortion and flat response above their xover frequency.KRK flagship has Be tweeters, really expensive
I’m lucky, I spent 5 years on the flight line as a jet engine mechanic. My noise floor is more of a roof.All a means to an end. Hopefully they produce low distortion and flat response above their xover frequency.
