I got mine today. If you put your ears right next to the tweeter, there is hiss. I think that is normal, the amp is just not .000x THD+N.
I wish they used Purifi or Hypex in there.

Does it hiss while in standby, or just while idle before/after input?I got mine today. If you put your ears right next to the tweeter, there is hiss. I think that is normal, the amp is just not .000x THD+N.

Impeccable.How's the sound overall ?
I just got them today, and it takes 90 mins of no signal before it goes into standby, so haven't got a chance to check. But in standby mode, the amp shuts down, so it has to be dead silent. The hissing is almost certainly from the amp and who the hell said you don't need .000x THD+N?Does it hiss while in standby, or just while idle before/after input?
Great. Thank you.As I have both KH80 and KH120ii I would grab the 120ii for fullrange use. It's not that big of an price hike but you get significant more level and can use the digital input.
Only when you buy the woofer now I would think about KH80 - they are actually a nice team with KH750. But when also used to listen with some distance in the room -> KH120ii.
loudness noWhen you miss some loudness or clarity - yes.
I don't know the ilouds but belive they sound pretty good for their size?
Please note that both sound lacking "weight" and "clarity" might also be due to placement of loudspeakers and/or listening position in the room - in which case any loudspeaker put in the same place would suffer from the same issues.loudness no
clarity - yes
but what I miss is weight of the sound
Although not mentioned in the manual, it's also possible to route the signal : from interface -> monitors -> sub/s, as suggested below:I have an interface with 2 electrical digital outputs (RME UCX II). Both send the same stereo signal to both subs. I can connect monitors either both to one of the subs or L to L and R to R.
AFAIK when using KH150s or 120IIs you can use a digital daisychain now so you don't need 2 digital outputs anymore. I think i have seen this in one of the manuals.
Glad you like 'em. So the short pop/mute issue no longer happens?So I just spent the night listening to the KH 120
It is not clear how they pair match or get each speaker to the level of tolerance. But we do know that in a passive speaker, each driver and each part in the crossover has a tolerance that affects it overall response. Not sure how much cabinet tolerance affects overall response. But not sure if the DSP crossover needs to be calibrated specifically for each speaker.That's what you can do with DSP and a good quality control of every single speaker. You measure the speaker and adjust the DSP (normally gain for drivers, not sure if they also alter the frequency response specifically).
At least these speakers have VERY good stereo panorama.
