AsciLab A6B Review

And another, what we see at the Buchardt is NOT showroom sound, is the opposite.
Showroom sound boosts this area like this:

Putting aside the error in Stereophile measurements that show a non-existent bass boost, Showroom sound was kind of invented by Klipsch with hyper rise in tweeter response. That brings out brilliance with the highs clearly standing out. In turn, it makes neutral speakers sound muffled in a showroom AB setup. Bass boost can be considered a secondary aspect of this but not nearly as much as the treble boost.

I didn't mean bass boost, I just continued my last post about the about 5kHz-10kHz one the B&W shows.
The newer, the higher!

About the price of a discounted pair of Neumann KH 310... and the S6B will probably be around 5500 then....and of course one has to add adequate amplification to the price. I am not questioning that they are worth it in comparison to other speakers in their price range and perhaps beyond. I am just not sure, what to buy: AsciLab or active speakers of the usual suspects....

A pair of Neumann KH 310 for 3678 €

Hmm, but then you have to add import taxes to the EU?

For me 2.7k would be the limit. Together with a good amp you are already looking at 3.3k, though it is for the technically best passive 2-way speaker you can buy.
I'd think the quality of the Purifi woofer(absolute engineering feat) outshines any gains from being active in a monitor like the Neumanns which in return have worse drivers?

You have to take into account that you will have to pay your local sales tax on import (as does Audiophonics).
I’m also not sure if the prices on Ascilabs site include the 10% Korean sales tax, that you might or might not be able to get reimbursed.
