Hello,
in the hopes that I did not post in the wrong sub category of the forum, I am looking for some help with some desktop speakers.
I have the Wharfedale Evo 4.2 and a Taga Harmony htr-1000cd v.2 to drive them (my first buy into stereo hifi).
I like them but the noise floor of the amp makes those speakers abyssal for extreme near field listening (60-80 cm) and those speakers are simply to big for my desk and do really not like standing in corners. Replacing that amp and dac combo is in the works, but a different project.
I have since then tried the Neumann KH 80, KH 120 and Genelec 8030c and I liked the KH 120 the most but their noise floor, while a lot better than the Genelecs, is still to much for me.
Since then I have tried out a pair of Abacus C-Box4 and tried to measure them with medium success.
Sorry but that was my first time measuring and i could not calibrate the measurement mic to higher than 80 db.
Are those speakers form those files worth buying, currently 1000€ for the pair?
Or is there maybe anything else I could try that is dead quiet (I heared it is a result of the eq in active speakers) has a depth that is close to 20cm and a frequency range similar to the KH 120?
Passive or active does not really matter, my comfortable budget is 1000€ and my absolut pain threshold is 2000€ without dac.
Thankyou in advance.
