:drool:Later I upgraded to 8331
Possibly. I have sent the data to them but didn't want to hold up the review for it. Getting a hold of companies during summer is difficult given the vacations....As with the LS50 Meta, more wigglyness in the 1-3k region than I expected but probably due to high resolution?
Yes , and one good thing with GLM is that you can go in manually and, if you want, correct exactly and digitaly for the peak that Amirm found . You can also , apart from using peq in the whole register, also use shelving in the tweeter area , ie bring the soundbalance absolutely right depending on the room.Absolutelly upgrade. The 8330 are superior to the 8030 because of the GLM room correction. If you apply room correction with some other means, then that’s a different case. I upgraded my 8030 first to 8330 and the improvement was huge, thanks to room correction. Later I upgraded to 8331 and there was improvement yes, but not nearly as much as with the first upgrade.
Looks like soft break-up/zonal mode of "not rigid" woofer.Can't figure out why the woofer response is sloping down and then rising. That is responsible for on-axis response going above flat response.
These are a bit ad-hoc measurements with sticking the microphone in front of the driver. Maybe there are some reflections going on that happen to be similar in both. There is nothing to calibrate here. Note that these are simple sweeps with none of the normal Klippel wizardry in play.Hmm…. Is it a pure coincident that ls50 meta and Genelec 8330a shows the same peak at 1,8 Khz ?
Amirm - are you shure there is nothing wrong with your klippel calibration ? You also have
the same small peak at about 12 KHz and 16 KHz .
Ok - thanks for the response.These are a bit ad-hoc measurements with sticking the microphone in front of the driver. Maybe there are some reflections going on that happen to be similar in both. There is nothing to calibrate here. Note that these are simple sweeps with none of the normal Klippel wizardry in play.
Very nice, thanks !GLM testing is planned...
GLM testing is planned...
Yes.Do you plan to use the latest version GLM 4.1 for testing?
Tonally it is just as good. I am just bothered by the limited power availability.Thanks for this long-time awaited review!
8030C and 8320 got the top panther, but not this one? Weird, but comparison side-by-side was not possible I guess.
I tend to go towards the 8030C with EQ APO, much cheaper and I got good results with 8020D too. I think the built in DSP correction is a little overrated, why not to correct at the PC level? The only real advantage for GLM is that you dont have to mess around the operating system level EQ and the trouble that can cause in a studio environment, for professional enviroment it is important to have the GLM. For hobbist it is just not a big concern. The digital domain is complicated, but the EQ APO gives me good results. I even think that the GLM cannot match a superbly configured software EQ, because you have more filters and options for the corrections.
