JBL 4329p or Neumann 310 strengths and weaknesses

[meracus]

Hi guys … torn between the 2 … not after super loud .. admittedly Neumann looks sleeker
Also streaming not a deal breaker … main interest is best sound , fit , set up , listen to good sound
Desirable feature : wide and tall image , decent bass with minimal bloating , detailed mids … either case willing to dsp / not afraid of lower SPL overall
Impossible to demo both …
Thanks

Ps : anything else I should be looking at

Depending on your budget, you might want to look at active options from KEF, Buchardt, and Dynaudio.

Did a demo of the ls60 at a london dealer … speaker didn’t work … he didn’t care … was not impressed with sound … I’m sure dealer fault … one of the speaker was cutting off ( think network issue ) … bass was so so … he couldn’t operate eq .
I thought for 7k !!!!! … the kii7 at the show was way way more impressive

310s are pretty non-finicky to set up and have a slightly wider dispersion vs the 4329P, and are flatter on-axis. I think I'd look at the 708P over the 4329P.

We have Klippel NFS measurements for both of these:
https://www.erinsaudiocorner.com/loudspeakers/jbl_4329p/
https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...neumann-kh-310a-review-powered-monitor.17723/

They're very similar to each other.
The 4329p seems to have some minor crossover issues, impacting on-axis linearity, compression, and multitone distortion.

On the other hand, the 310 isn't quite as happy playing loud, deep bass.

Any new thoughts about these two? And about kh 150 or adds kh 720.
