What would you say are the best speakers regardless of type (passive or active or active monitors) on the market for up to $10K?
I actually meant without a subNeumann or Genelec
There we go.
Which ones? Mix and match with sub up to your 10k depending on your use case.
Obviously stereo and not surroundBest for what?
Lol sorry, it's kind of a therapy writing and reading about it before deciding on such a huge purchase.Dude just buy some speakers and stop making new topics to help you overthink it

I assume you don't need sub with the D&D 8C for example, obviously i love Genelec also, KH420 would also be great but if they sound dark like KH120 then I'm not so sure about them
My room is small and untreatedI think a good number of people would still want a sub with the D&D.
Focal Sopra No. 1 then... maybe Kanta no. 1 as well. They cost less but are a newer design. Finish is not as fancy, but waveguide is probably better.My room is small and untreated
Also love Focal but they don't measure so well from what i understand on this forumFocal Sopra No. 1 then... maybe Kanta no. 1 as well. They cost less but are a newer design. Finish is not as fancy, but waveguide is probably better.
I'm pretty much decided on the Genelec 8351B or 8361A, i don't want to deal with amps and DACs
Plus the DSP= win
Only concern is what happens in 10 years when the built-in DAC is outdated?
They are among the better passives. Their studio monitors have simple analog crossovers, so they are not like Neuman or Genelec. If you are thinking you want the best possible FR, then yeah, you probably want active speakers from another brand.Also love Focal but they don't measure so well from what i understand on this forum
Problem is you need some super expensive amp for them.They are among the better passives. Their studio monitors have simple analog crossovers, so they are not like Neuman or Genelec. If you are thinking you want the best possible FR, then yeah, you probably want active speakers from another brand.

Kanta no 1, cheap amp like Loxjie a30, and some EQ, and spend the rest of the $10k on carpet, panels, etc.Problem is you need some super expensive amp for them.
