What Speakers Would You Like Amir To Measure Next?

[Matt_Holland]

Another vote for Spatial Audio open baffle models.

 

[EAXAE]

Well, any at this point. Missing times when reviews were coming one after another. Hope Amir's well and haven't lost his enthusiuasm

Genelec 8040B. Would love to see how it compares to the Neumann KH150.

There is a KEF Meta in our future but not those.

Is it a Kef tower?

 

[amirm]

Is it a Kef tower?

Yes. There were some issues resulting in delay. Those are almost sorted out so hopefully I get to review it soon.

I'd really like to see Kali Audio products tested. The value seems high and the design technology appears quite good! I'd be particularly curious how loud they can play given their not humongous power, and also how even the dispersion is.

[Hey, wasn't there another thread(s) about what to test? I'd like to see
https://www.soundandvision.com/content/osd-audio-nero-xa7180-7-channel-amplifier-review
but MOST of all, I'd like to see some tests of how much power output actually droops as as all channels are driven.]

Please buy them and deliver them to Amir!

Speaker is more or less available to test. Problem is logistics. I have been thinking of building a slide crane for such heavy speakers. But even packing and unpacking them is a huge deal.

BTW I heard them at AES conference. They are just stunning.

Q. Concept 500 and 50. Would love to see if their extra proclaimed investment in cabinet resonance actually count for something in the real world.

Nah. Just turn them all the way up and they will unbox themselves!

Genelec 8040B. Would love to see how it compares to the Neumann KH150.

I can only show you the in room measurements (non corrected) of both, placed in the same spot. Interestingly low end extension is basically the same, so I guess 8340 would extend lower than the KH150, while being cheaper. The biggest difference is between 200-400Hz, there are some peaks in the Neumann, wider dispersion maybe?

Didn't realize they made such expensive speakers. Definitely outside of what I can just buy.

How terribly sad that most of us, let alone dealers over here who *really* need to be educated, will never have the chance to hear let alone understand what's available once you get away from boutique under-achieving brands (I'm thinking Naim-Kudos active systems costing rather more than these...). Weekend rant, apologies folks.

Would a pair of these outperform your current system?

PSB Alpha IQ.

They look like a very interesting little speaker, lots of colour ways etc.

Not sure a pair is even needed ...

Each section is 155 pounds - need some strong help to assemble and setup. A buddy of mine used to have the PBN Montana WAS - 525 pounds each. It was very interesting putting those on a pallet for the freight company to pick up when they went to the next owner.
