I was paranoid so paid extra to have the 2 speakers shipped separately to keep it under the customs limit. Others have bought them as a pair and also had no issue with customs. For warranty, my reading of the Neumann warranty is that it's worldwide.Have you compared the Kali in8 V2's (or in5's for that matter) to the KH120 or KH150? What was your take - and can you comment on output capability? I'm also in a similar dilemma, and the Kali's look too good to be true - but seem to have lots of trustworthy hype. I have them saved in my Amazon cart - but I'm still lusting after the KH's
Also -
(Bolded for emphasis by me)
So @RDoc - No hassles with customs/taxes for the KH120 pair? I'm curious if a pair of KH150's L/R and a KH120II Center would trip any import flags / VAT charges from MusicStore.com? Seems the "trip point" is $800 USD - and a pair of KH120's is way past that (but under that "per unit"). The KH150's blow past the $800 limit "per unit". But a KH150 L/R + KH120 Center for $3100 is very tempting!!! But then a trio of Kali in8's for $1300 is a heck of a deal for my pocket book!
And what's the deal with USA warranty if purchased from MusicStore.com? Do they require shipment back to Germany, or can warranty repairs be handled by Neumann in the USA?
Thanks!
You might try supplementing your monitors with a large stack of marshall amps for that use caseFor the occasions when we're listening to Hendrix with enthusiastic friends it's just loud enough for our tastes
I've been using the KH120II for a year in September. I use the analog input. All is well with my pair of monitors. But I always turn the monitors on and off at the back, I don't leave them on all the time, I don't let them go into standby mode. I don't know how safe it is to constantly flick the switch, but it makes me feel better...Are these ‘standby’, ‘reset’ and power failures only in the case of using the digital in or Ethernet connections.
Is it a dsp issue.
Has anybody had problems when simply connecting via xlr analogue?
How about firmware updates or using ma1 software.I've been using the KH120II for a year in September. I use the analog input. All is well with my pair of monitors.

I updated to the latest firmware, calibrated using a microphone. Everything is fine.How about firmware updates or using ma1 software.
Agree+1 to just switch it on/off manually each time. No big deal, and I would be paranoid if I am away from home and a storm is raging and my monitors connected to surges in the line... Better safe than sorry.

There are some normal people over there, but there are a lot of strange fanboy types. The ATC crowd especially get rather defensive of anything but ATC. Really odd thing to see in the 'professional' sector, just proves the absurdity of human nature and herd mentality I guess. I think it's kinda natural though, everyone wants validation of their choices I guess and all the science or subjectivity means nothing when that mindset persist's. Hell, at one point I was that way to a degree regarding audio, it's something people can grow out of though as they begin to actually gain knowledge and understanding.When you visit a self-proclaimed "professional" audio forum called GearSpace, you always see this speaker being bashed. But by looking at these measurement values, you can understand what kind of people gather in that professional audio forum...

Is there a pure analog input at all? If you use room correction, which is a must with this speakers - the speakers work through DSP regardless of input type.Are these ‘standby’, ‘reset’ and power failures only in the case of using the digital in or Ethernet connections.

In my studio I turn off my monitors, turn off the power strip and unplug the power strip on the workstation I have been using.Is there a pure analog input at all? If you use room correction, which is a must with this speakers - the speakers work through DSP regardless of input type.
Turning speakers OFF every time you stop listening to music is a joke, unless you live in a house located in an open field in risk of lightning strike.

I sometimes have situations where they are on for a couple hours without signal passing through - but not too often.That might explain why you have never experienced the standby problem with your speakers. Isn't the problem isolated to when these speakers have been in standby mode over an extended time period?
