Neumann KH420 Review (Studio Monitor)

[Chimiel]

The 60hz null might be ceiling bounce. Maybe consider a cloud?

I think I really have been fortunate, my girlfriend doesn't mind all my gear in the living room, acoustic treatment is too much . That's why I'm hoping that a single KH 750 sub on a different spot + MA-1 room calibration might do the trick. Wondering though if I'm selling the KH 420 short with a single sub (at moderate listening levels)

Is it possible to move your seating slightly and see if that gets rid of your dip. You could possibly be sitting in a room node null. Try moving it forward or back a foot and then after right a foot and see if that gets rid of the dip in your response.

Can try REW room simulator, it’s pretty good for searching for possible placement.

For me, I got a big dip ~130Hz, from floor bounce. I just gotta live with it.

Definitely! Bear in mind that with the MA-1 the built-in bass speakers will only work down to 80 Hz. A single closed-box KH 750 will not make up for this. Rather try changing your listening position.

Acoustic treatment can be subtle.

That’s what I thought, two subs or nothing. My listening position can’t be changed. Would be nice if the optional digital DIM 1 module had room correction. Two subs are tempting though; besides MA 1 room correction, which seems pretty good by now, I also heard the mids sound even better, with the extra subs. Maybe next year; for now I’m broke, after buying the KH 420’s
