...and don't forget to put the doorstop atop the speaker as well for an added $1000.You could put little spikey feet on the legs and sell them for $2K per pair.
Alternative: A properly large "soccer panther" made of 24k gold...and don't forget to put the doorstop atop the speaker as well for an added $1000.
8361 better step response and better vertical directivityChoosing between the 8361 and KH420 is the audiophile version of Sophie's choice
Neither looks appealing.And 8361 comes in white
Amir needs to start lifting. Tired of hear about how he can't lift <100lbs.
No.
Looks nice in white, with nice stands. State of the art sound.Neither looks appealing.
IMO you should check outWill I regret it to buy the Neumann over the Salon 2 or the Genelec? I want to buy quality once and want never look back.
- easy to soffit mount
Only if you can provide decent cooling of the integrated amp.
Exactly. Without this array of switches and opamps and caps in sound path.One can only wonder how outwordly a full DSP-ed version could be.

Then you must have experienced an absurd amount of bass I suppose. Would have been interesting to hear about your listening impression after room EQ. I assume the tonality would have been much better then, maybe closing in on the Genelecs.
Absolutely right! Almost all audiophiles, excluding Pros, base their equipment buying decision on visual aspect and marketing points. And then they force themselves to like the poor quality sound by enduring break-in, burn-in periods of time and finally they upgrade to more expensive speaker and so on...So, this makes me wonder again why those who call themselves "audiophiles" avoid speakers like this. Maybe they are more interested in the visual appeal than the sound itself.
