Whatever it is, that price is just ridiculous. Painting 8340, putting them on a stand and slapping a very very high margin. I know they are a business and have to make profits, but this is just money grab from people who don't know audio. If I were to buy these and later found out about their...

Will definetly start without subs bcs of the cost. I have to also hire an acoustic specialist first that will help me with the living room.

Yeap, no sense in this pricing. The white 8350A is going to be a bit more expensive bcs of the color, but worth it to me.

Just got information from a Genelec partner in Germany: the price is 2.842,86 Euro + VAT per speaker. I guess it's white 8350A + stands for me.

Neumann kh120 imo. Later down get new/used kh750 and use the full dsp potential of the sub, get better lows and full range sound with Neumann MA 1.

Check Genelec 8340A or 8350A + GLM kit for room eq. They also come in white color, smaller footprint than Neumann kh310. Or maybe 2 x kh120 (white/dark) + kh750 sub and with the sub you have dsp, option for room eq with the Neumann MA 1.

Hah, yes. I see we had similar problems to solve. I wrote previously that I was considering the Neumann KH310 + later the KH750 subs, but I scratched that idea - mainly aesthetics and no room correction/DSP on the KH310, which will require more devices for proper home use at the beginning. I...

Congrats. I see two choices here from Genelec: $5K budget = 8350A $10K budget = 8351B @EchoChamber did you compare ASU/EBU vs analog XLR using the octo dac8 stereo? Any significant difference? I see a dac8 Stereo tour announced on their website.

I went to hear the Genelec bunch in an acoustically horrible room few weeks ago, to understand what the difference is with their GLM kit on/off room EQ. One model fitted my shortlist for a living room speaker - measured well, room EQ, powerful enough to use without sub, good warranty policy...

I recently discovered Buchardt Audio's active speakers. A500 Measurements and Spinorama A700 towers measurements Look's like D&D 8C got some competition. The floorstanding A700 model is on pre-order, to be shipped September.

Thanks, I thought about the power consumption and it's probably something I can compromise on for the price of the KH310. 8260 are expensive in my area. I would reach for the Ones if that is the case (that they are a more superior monitor). Something more worrying to me is that the KH310 is a...

Thanks. Yes, I'm aware and will be using the Sabaj D5 DAC which also powers my Focal Elex headphones via balanced.

When I found this topic I was not happy to spend near $10K for a full range home system, but looking at the pricing and active speakers offer led me to another solution in 'two instalments' and an MVP (minimum viable product) style system building, meaning: First stage: 2 x kh310 SHD Studio...

I guess now that the Neumann channel is established with Amir, we can soon see the kh120, kh420 and kh750 dsp sub.

Great to hear that! He told me he is in contact with you, so I expect the Neumann kh310 to be sent for a test soon. Have been waiting on this for quite some time, as all my research (and budget) has lead me to the kh310.
