It was a terrible source that really doesn't prove anything... the list has already changed. My guess is it only takes one or two purchases to make a large move on the rankings, seeing how there was a Universal Audio interface at #6 yesterday which isn't on the list at all today.
The daily/weely fluctuations are normal and small, still the mentioned Neumann and Genelec are on similar high rankings, which by the way you can indirectly see also from the number of ratings.
There is nothing strange about pointing out, correctly, the 120's performance is equaled by many cheaper monitors
Even if you repeat ten times it, it doesn't stop being wrong, the only market popular 5" monitor which is on the same highest level is the Genelec which is on a similar price level.
Notice how I poked a bunch of holes in you proposing the Kali and JBL, two horribly compromised entry level monitors, and you made no attempt whatsoever to counter either argument? This is precisely what I'm talking about. Very cute.
Since you insist, lets grab again your quote
"Kali is a mess of distortion" and I showed that at 86dB which is the meaningful in this size class, its distortions are above 50 Hz below -40 dB which is 1% and this is not a mess, but rather inaudible and a very good value.
Also, I
never claimed that its as good as the class leading Neumann/Genelec and the LYD5 that was the reason of this discussion also fails at 96dB but costs several times more. Same about the FR irregularities, everyone can see them easily, but in opposition to directivity problems those can be easily fixed by EQ (even freely at their usual intended usage, namely desktop monitoring).
My original argument was that the Genelec/Neumann cost more than the LYD but are also better (without any of those being "very poor value" like you claimed), same as the LYD is also better in some aspects than the much cheaper Kali/JBL but all being very good value, so don't try to turn it around.
You'll notice those are KH 310s, not 120s... I would hope a $3,250 monitor is significantly better than a $780 one? It's always different having the speakers in your own space... you also apparently don't understand the economics of being in a band, and why many of us have gone to home studios...
Again you write something completely different than my argument, don't know if it is a language problem or on purpose attempts
to poison the well. My argument was that you just discovering the good sound of the KH310 just last year, is in contradiction of your attempt to show yourself as a professional in mastering/mixing and on a much higher level then me
"an environment you've never even set foot in".
so with this, you finally land on my ignore list. The most pathetic argument yet of all the garbage you've thrown out here.
Your aggressive, insulting personal attacks won't bring your argumentation further, also I won't give you the pleasure of putting on ignore as in ASR wrong statements should be tackled.
Anybody buying a 120 should have gotten a 8030 instead. It is nice to see that too many people are wasting their money on 120s, though. I will have to keep beating this drum, apparently, until the KH 120 II comes out. It'd have to stay at the same price level while gaining all the extra features of the KH 80 for it to be a success.
