Did you open each speaker up and check the condition of the internals before purchasing? And is it an SMD?

Nice. Glad to hear that. Would you consider buying an 8 year old KH310 or would you say its too much of a risk? Before you know it, its going to be a 10 year old speaker. (and again, that doesn't have to mean anything) The kh310 came out in 2013, so we still don't know how well they hold up...

What year is your KH310 from? Have they been reliable so far? I have a chance to get an 8 year old used pair. They look great. Apparently they weren't used too much at all. .

Thank you for your advice. Really appreciate it. I haven't heard the 8050b either, but I presume it's pretty similar to my 8040b, plus an added 10hz in the low end. Do you consider 2500e for a new pair of 8050b heavily discounted? I agree with you on the KH310 25% for 8 years. Funny enough...

Cool. How big are the differences between the older 8050b(you've probably heard it) and 8351b? Is it really night and day? And can is 8050b comparable to the KH310. I have a chance to get a pair of used KH310 for 3000e(new is 4000e). From the year 2016. Don't know what to think about buying an 8...

Which models do you have?

I would love to. I've actually had a chance to listen to speakers from both Genelec and Neumann, (the smaller KH120 and 8040bpm), but for a short amount of time. I would need time to work with them both in order to know which one I'd prefer in the long run. Unfortunately, I'm not able to demo...

The price of the 8350 is pretty much up there with the KH310. In that case, I would definitely go for the KH310. If I'm not mistaken, (and I might be because I haven't compared them myself) the 8350 isn't too far off sonically compared to the 8050b, apart from the inbuilt dsp. I forgot to...

What did you end up choosing? I'm interested in these two monitors too. The price difference is pretty big though. Kh310s are around 4000e while Genelec 8050b are 2500e. Are the Kh310 worth 1500e more?

I have a chance to grab a pair of Genelec 8050b for 2500e, and the KH310s for 4000e a pair. Are the differences between them worth 1500e? I am currently using 8040bpm with sonarworks. They also get harsh sometimes, mostly when I turn them up to hear the bass better. I figure the 8050b will be...

It seems like it. I apologize to Kain for any inconvenience.

Hey community, Are these Sonarworks measurements normal for the Footprint 01? I'll attach the measurements of the left and right speaker separately (01s, Genelec 8040b and KH120). Unfortunately the left speaker is placed in a tri-corner, explaining the enormous peak at around 60hz. The 6db dip...

I agree. Still both the Genelec and the Neumann provide excellent results. Like in my testing (considering the given circumstances). What's shocking is the Barefoot's unevenness and downwards slope in both cases, not to mention that huge 6db dip from 300hz to 1.3khz from the right speaker...

I agree, the sweet spot really is tiny with them, and the high end altering as soon as you're off axis is a bit frustrating. To me though, I still think they provide a clearer picture compared to the 8040s for mixing. At least in the low end they do. But the measurements are really throwing me...

I'm curious what were you discontent with that made you switch from the Barefoot 01s and start your search for a replacement? I remember reading your comments and you seemed to be real happy with them. And how would you say the low end compares to the kh310? I'm afraid the KH310s might not be...

Btw, when it comes to subs, its always best to try and match the brand of speakers with the sub, since they have most probably been designed to work together (crossover-wise), as opposed to using an Adam sub with Genelec speakers. That's not to say using subs/speakers of different brands will...

Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to listen to them in my studio. But they do measure much better than the 01s that's for sure. Did you have a chance to listen to them both?

Yes, I've seen Output Frontier's measurements by some guys from Korea, and they don't look good. I know they too were designed by Thomas Barefoot. You can check out the full data here https://www.cuonet.com/bbs/board.php?bo_table=rev_gui&wr_id=96015#c_96023 The KH310 and the Neumann KH line...

Yes, pretty much, 148cm.

Yes, I was definitely getting some sort of PA vibe with the 01s. I only had a chance to AB the speakers in mono, but when I did, the Barefoots sounded almost like a mini club speaker compared to the genelecs. They're low end representation, although overwhelming at first, is much better than on...
