studio monitors

Very interesting speakers. Has anyone been able to listen to them yet? Looks like a good competitor to kali lp-unf, adam d3v. Especially in vertical directivity.

Hi, I know Amir has tested the T5V and T8V both with positive outcomes. Does anyone have any insight if the T7V follows suit? The t8V is too big for my stands and, additionally, due to my setup, the tweeters would be above slightly above my ear level which isn't advised according to the review...

I am in the Nashville Tn area and I want to look for a new pair of Passive Studio Monitors and use REW RTA option to collect the data. I want to focus on the speakers/monitors not the room right now. The studio has been in operation since 2006 and at that time we did the Control room testing...

Hey there! I have a question you guys might be able to answer for me. I’m trying to set up my active studio monitors with the topping dx9 but a little confused as to what settings the topping needs to be set on. Im using balanced XLR cables. The options on the topping are: Out mode: All...

Hello everyone! I'm currently trying to make some measurements with MA-1 for newly bought KH120 II monitors, but after correction one of my monitors (the left monitor) is for some reason slightly louder than the other, and when I apply the backplate settings everything goes back to the default...

Hello Folks. Intro: These are the Abacus C-Box 3 speakers, sold in the EU, usually for 990 Euros (1105 USD / 1493 CAD) for a pair: https://www.abacus-electronics.de/produkte/aktivlautsprecher/c-box/c-box3.html. Abacus C-Box 3 speakers are 4" active speakers (they have active crossovers) with...

Hi! I'm currently planning to upgrade my audio listening setup and I eventually plan to get powered speakers to replace my current Kali LP-UNFs. My bedroom is 13.5 ft x 12ft x 9ft, with the speakers on my desk at roughly arms length. The speakers sit in between the gaps for my 3 Displays...

Hello, I’ve been scouring the internet for answers to this question and finding mixed answers. I’m aware that lots of people tend to regurgitate what they read online, rather than speak from true experience or education. I’m finding one camp of people saying rear-ported monitors should not be...

Hi. I have seen many posts and articles where they show how to analyze and get flat response curves for speakers. However, none of them show how the frequency response of a well treated room looks like. Then I found this video: And from what I understand is that, flat frequency response studio...

I recently built some desktop speakers from concrete, and I am trying to understand my measurements. I am quite happy with the overall sound, but they are definitely missing some base. I am using a Dayton Audio DS135-8 woofer with a Peerless Tymphany BC25SC08-04 tweeter and crossed them at...

I think I captured the difference in sound from speakers placed directly on your desk compared to decoupled speakers on stands. You can clearly hear the difference because speakers on desk are actually LOUDER, but that's the desk vibrations adding to the volume and the bass. How can I improve...

Dear colleagues, Since my search for a dedicated recommendations thread was unsuccessful, I'm hoping here is a good place. If I missed something, please excuse me. I am using a pair of active Neumann KH120 speakers with my TV and for now I have them connected with a random DAC from Amazon. I'm...

Hiya I'm looking for a solution to kill a problem that's been plaguing me for well over a decade. I have a pair of studio monitors (Yamaha HS5) and a simple headphone amp (Destiny Aristaios mk II - tube amplifier; basically a Yaqin PH-5L) and a huge issue with noise from my computer. Before...

Hey everyone! This is my first post here, so glad to meet y'all. About 2 years ago I got myself into the speakers world with a pair of Adam Audio T5Vs. My choice was based on the plethora of positive reviews on these speakers. They indeed did not disappoint, really balanced set with quite a bit...

Hi all, I currently own a pair of Edifier MR4 studio monitors running through a Teyun-Q16 with TRS cables. They've served me well over the past year, however I've been looking to upgrade as it is hard to hear anything under 70hz or so. I understand I won't be able to hear much of any sub-bass...

I'll even order them and ship them to you. I'd love to see some measurements on these. It seems like the kind of fun project someone on ASR would like to do. I have actually been pleasantly surprised by some other Bestisan (SR02) I have as kitchen speakers and I'd love to see how close these...

Erin has published his data for the Swissonic A305. Unfortunately Thomann discontinued the A305, 306 and 308 (maybe even more models) which understandably has made the time measuring and reviewing these speakers largely a waste of time. Why Thomann went through the time and cost to ship these is...

Hi: please excuse that I am a new member and perhaps barging in to sell something - but I have lurked for some time. I am an entirely legitimate person w/ no intentions of scamming anyone. I enjoy upgrading equipment and am interested in swapping out my Genelec 8030C's for 8341A's (which I saw...

For nearfield desktop use between 2 ft and 1M distance from me. Active Studio Monitors vs. Passive Bookshelves + Small Amp? Roughly £1k budget. I’m looking for desktop speakers/amp to pair with Topping DX5 DAC that I currently only use with headphones. Usage will be hi-res music playback...
