Hi everyone, I’m grateful for the incredible advice on this forum. I’m building a Hauptwerk organ setup in my home; this is PC software that simulates a pipe organ using recorded samples.
Thanks to the reviews and discussion here, I’ve decided to start with a pair of Kali IN-8 V2 monitors as a good-value option. Next up is a subwoofer. Since this is for an organ, it needs to resolve 16-32 Hz frequencies as well as possible. The Kali WS-12 doesn’t quite have the specs I’d like to see, and gets some mixed reviews as a compromise between a studio sub and a live PA sub.
So, I’m looking at the Neumann KH750. It sounds like a lot of its value is in the DSP and room tuning capabilities, particularly as part of an all-Neumann 2.1 setup. I’ve read on other threads that you can use Neumann’s software and MA1 mic to adjust the system without Neumann monitors—you just tell the software you‘re using Neumann monitors without DSP.
Is the KH750 worth it as part of a mixed setup, or would I be overpaying for something that’s really meant to be used as part of an integrated system? And if I do buy it, is it worth getting the bundle with the MA1 mic (currently +$55)? I’d also be happy to hear about any other subs you recommend; Neumann occupies such a special place in these discussions, it’s likely I’ve overlooked some other options.
