So I sold off some gear, and instead of being a financially wise man, I decided that I needed a proper pair of studio monitor.
I'm choosing between two pairs:
- Klein + Hummel O110 in very good condition, for SGD650 (USD470, EUR455)
- Kali LP6 (not V2) brand new in box, for SGD500 (USD375, EUR350)
I prefer a "clean" neutral sound, and I'm quite sensitive to distortion in all frequencies
I listen to everything from soft jazz to death metal,
Criteria: needs to do anything between watching cat videos and mastering very well.
My listeningroom cell is 2.8m (length) x 3.5m (width), so yeah, near-field listening only.
The room is untreated and speakers are placed on a desk 1.5m apart, 10° toe in and ~30cm to the wall.
I liked both of these speakers after I auditioned them both in a store (with full anechoic room treatment).
I would love to have something proven and legendary of its neutrality, but it is pretty rewarding (and comforting) to buy brand new.
My only concern with the Kali is that it will be too large for my setup, as for the O110, its only problem is that it's $50 beyond my budget.
Answers and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Have a great day.
Jerry.
