I’d like to find some answers to the fatigue I’m experiencing when listening on the following system.
Room is treated, with MA1 doing light attenuation of the low end (-3-4dB). Room decay times are good. Laser measurement tool was used for all physical alignments of speakers and MA 1.
Lynx Hilo - Line Out +24dBu (no attenuation)
Imperium NG
Neumann KH750
Nuemann KH80
(Neumann Monitor Alignment app set to output of 100dB)
Listening distance of 1.6m
Speakers are 1.6m apart
Listening height and MA1 mic placement is 1.3m (which was measured from the acoustical centre of the KH80, and not the tweeter as advised by Neumann. What are your thoughts on this over a mic to tweeter height?
I’d like to find out some opinions on the above and the following questions if anyone has time:
Is the Lynx Hilo output of +24dBu too hot for the monitor controller (Imperium NG) and in turn is that too hot for the KH750 and KH80s?
Could it be that with playback being @ 192k that the Neumann KH750 - KH80s are converting to 48K and this part of the cause?
I can only describe what I hear as subtle crunch, and over time it is quite tiring.
Thanks for your time!
