neumann kh120 ii are in the same size range and voiced a bit differently but the sound that comes out of them seems absolutely impossible. worth a test if you see any around.

Hey, I can totally relate. I use Neumanns myself (KH120 II), but it actually makes sense – most listeners out there will hear the music on setups that are closer to HS8s than to high-end monitors. I wouldn’t be surprised if the HS8s simply force you to make decisions that translate better because th

Kali, Adam and JBL are more "YouTube" recommended brands, Overall if you truly want the best bang for the buck in that Price Range you should check out the Focal Alpha 50/65/80 Evo's, Sound miles ahead of the others despite having barely any marketing behind them to push them forward. Take it from a

Oh yeah, I do! Love my KH120’s and well-treated room! Valid question/suggestion! I’m sure I could do better monitor-wise, like some big sexy ATC’s (the dream), but my Neumann’s continue to serve me and my humble little space well more than a decade in!

Minidsp Flex driving two Neumann KH-120 II's and a pair of OG SVS SB-1000 subs in fullrange stereo mode. Heavily treated small room, focused on tight balanced decay across frequency range for analytical nearfield use. Target curve 6dB bass boost from flat. The subs have evil THD below 35Hz so I drop

A comparable choice would be the Neumann KH 120 II. This model is front-ported and therefore can be placed right against a wall. Other than that they are very similar to the 8330 in performance and build quality.

I used to have the Thiel CS 3.6, the only issue with them was that they needed a lot of power to come to life. Nowadays, the Neumann KH 120 II, just perfection.

A separate amp gives more flexibility.This being said. I understand you prefer passive speakers yet can I suggest to check out the Neumann KH120 mkii which is a reference quality active studio monitor. And it exists in living room friendly white. You can connect the digital coax out from the wiim ul

Monitoring is EVERYTHING when trying to get a pro sound. The first time I sat in front of my Neumann KH 120 II, moving from Yamaha HS5, I was blown away by how easy it was to find what I was looking for in my mixes. If you can’t get a polished sound, it’s usually because of masking. If you can’t fin

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
