Take close look at the Platin Amp module. I don't really care but maybe you would.Well, I’m just fine with small manufacturers putting big price tags to their products. As long as they don’t carry a »Made in China« on the back, that is.

An interesting comparison: how many test reports have you seen about car engine performances? Then why would you expect to see the amp measured separately in what is a complete, whole product—an active speaker?But I wouldn't buy a car without knowing if its engine is reliable or if it has caused recurring problems in the past, even if the car is very beautiful and performs well
Next time I'm in London, I think I should visit youI haven’t owned these but their bigger brother the RTM10 are super creamers extremely neutral with real extension.
We had the GGNTKT M1s in the same period and the two made an interesting comparison.

consider these:

Not a scam..... A nice monitor but not quite as good as a KH150.Almost $1000 more expensive than the KH150 while having fewer controls and worse distortion? Looks like a scam![]()
These are supposed to be monitors - not pleasure listening speakers. Farfield is irrelevant. The real issue for studio use as monitors is nearfield performance. The KH150 are significantly better, but these are rather nice.It's disappointing to see such ignorance in audio science forums. People just check how pretty measurements are without understanding what they mean, and how they relate to real life situations.
How measured data applies to real life situations is an important aspect of audio science. Two speakers with identical predicted in room responses can measure differently when placed in the same room and position. This is because their dispersion patterns interact with the room differently. Cardioid speakers, for example, tend to have fewer dips and peaks compared to monopole speakers because they interact less with the surrounding room. This results in less Speaker-Boundary Interference Response (SBIR) in the actual measured in room response.
Cardioid speakers generally offer better midrange clarity and bass texture compared to conventional speakers, especially in typical room environments. This is because their design minimizes room interaction by directing sound more towards the listener and less towards the walls, reducing reflections and standing waves. However, in exceptionally large rooms, these advantages might be less noticeable due to the different acoustic dynamics at play.
In other words, these speakers are significantly superior to the KH 150s because of their cardioid response. In a small room, Mesanovic speakers may show similar peaks and dips, but these can be attenuated by up to -10 to -12 dB compared to the KH 150s. Under the same conditions, certain small peaks and dips that appear in the KH 150s' in-room response won't even show up with the Mesanovic speakers, resulting in a completely smooth and linear response. Another problem with KH 150s is that they do not have a great sound power response for farfield listening. (sound power is the highest determining factor for farfield listening sound quality) While the KH 150s can sound great in nearfield settings, their sound power is too non-linear for farfield use. Similarly, while Mesanovic speakers may not have the best sound power for farfield listening, they perform better in that aspect compared to the KH 150s.

Can you reason that with objective data?The KH150 are significantly better, but these are rather nice.
How are the AsciLab purifi active models going, and what amps are they using exactly.I gain a great deal of pleasure from listening to ‘monitors’.
Keith
Yes - simply compare the measurements of Amir here on ASR.Can you reason that with objective data?
That is good.......I gain a great deal of pleasure from listening to ‘monitors’.

I did and showed that the Mesanovic has a more continuous PIR and sound power due to its wider directivity and better vertical radiation:Yes - simply compare the measurements of Amir here on ASR.
