all good - I don't read german - however both k+h and neumann have both been cashing my checks for years...
so that's a "none"... got it...
living room - ok sennheiser - explains the 'white' color choice of the monitors now, I suppose... : )
That's a I've heard them all and know their sound and I'll identify each brand in a blind test
I didn't know you had done lots of blind testing, have you detailed it somewhere. Speaker blind testing isn't easy.
I'm not a pro
I've never tried brain surgery, but I'm sure I'd be great at it. Want some free brain surgery?
so you don't actually own a pair of monitors - of any brand - anymore - at all...
Somebody hears and believe his ears and somebody measure and believe only graphs. Sadly they are fighting or at least laughing each other most of the time. I prefer to combine both without much rage. Listening after measurement. I think that there is a lot of gear which measures well and sound not so great. And then others which measures also well and sound great. And it's nice to find both in one package. I'm not a fan of luxury snake oils like cables for tenths of thousands $, but I'm also not a fan of some crappy cheap gear. And I was also be able always to differentiate sound of B&W, Focal, Dynaudio,... Same with amplifiers. Tried for example some Accuphase, Luxman, Audia Flight, Norma, Denon,... And they measured almost the same except power, but sounded completely different. On same speakers in same room. Now I'm wondering how is life with active PRO gear from better company in higher range.
I've heard my share of Focals and I doubt that.
Until now you were convinced that the guy is just about to pull trigger on some 10k SOTA monitors, just a few more tidbits of information short?
Lol
I'm not saying I want Neumann to sound like Genelec
I apologize for my post: it could be mistaken as rude but wasn't meant this way. I auditioned the KH 310 and the KH 120 and in case of the 310 my impression was, that the tweeter did a beautiful job. I personally (and strictly subjective of course) was not fully convinced by the bass response, which didn't seem to like some of my music as much as I doI don't want to order a pair if Neumann is about to release a KH310A II sometime soon, that’s why I’m asking you guys if you think they are about to renew all the models in their speaker line.
It seems like some people here see my comment about the tweeter as some kind of “attack”, but that's not the case and I’m genuinely interested in KH310A. But when reading many “cons and pros” around the net, the upper frequency range seems to be what some people see as the weakest area of this speaker, not bad, just something that maybe have an improvement potential in a new version of the speaker.
Not at you @Grotti in particular, but some of you should chill out a bit. It was just a simple question.
. But that was without knowing the room, without a subwoofer and without touching tone controls or DSP.Yet again, what needs to be improved? Does it need more detail"? Explain how a new tweeter achieve this. Less distortion? They're already quite low in distortion and chances are if you're driving the tweeters into audible distortion you're already into the point at which the limiter will have kicked in. Brightness? If you dial in more on-axis treble SPL the speakers are no longer accurate. Wider dispersion? Clearly this is not Neumann's goal and a simple tweeter change is unlikely to impact this.
What did Genelecs and Focals tweeters needed improved ?
That is not even a remote answer to the question.
