KH 120 II

I'm happy with the Neumann KH 120 II monitors, along with their finicky but helpful MA-1 alignment/calibration mic and software. https://www.neumann.com/en-us/products/monitors/kh-120-ii?variant=509122 But as others here say, see if you can hear a few leading models. Bring in the material (or type o

Neumann KH 120 II, aligned with MA 1, are hard to beat at that price point.

Much easier to get low reaching bookshelf speakers if you go with active studio monitors. (DSP to correct for the drivers response and a dedicated amplifier for each driver.) For example: Genelec 8330A SAM (ASR review) (Thomann listing) Genelec 8340A SAM (Thomann listing) (slightly over your 2.5k€ b

I'd only build it as 5.1.2 if you are working on projects that have atmos deliverables. I do a lot of atmos pre-dubbing in a 7.1 space before getting to a 9.1.6 space. I don't love smaller speakers in the surrounds unless your room is quite big. If you can hit the DARDT with Neumann KH120 II DSPs th

So true! Yes, The Ones are the latest kind with Room Correction system. Also if OP is in a small room (which needs nearfields) I heard sooo many praises about the Neumann KH120 II + MA1 (Correction system). They’re even more “neutral and unforgiving” for mixing than the Genelec, and are quite afford

For me, this means that the Neumann KH120 II (ASR), for example, reproduces frequencies in the range from 44Hz (@-3dB) l

I used the Adam A4V calibrated with Sonarworks SoundID for 3 years and I was missing bass extension for mixing electronic music, so I decided to buy the Neumann KH 120 II (with DSP and Neumann's own MA1 microphone). Whoever says the Adams are better probably didn't calibrate the monitors correctly o

It sounds like your budget is around $2k USD. I'd probably save a little more and get refurb/b-stock Neumann KH150 or new KH120 II with MA1 kit. The KH150 is basically and endgame monitor for near field
