KH80

I am a HiFi dealer, and my at home setup is an audio interface and a pair of studio monitors as well. RME ADI-2, Neumann KH80, DSP corrected plus the room is acoustically treated. There is nothing either better or more compact in my opinion, and the DAC is great as a connection to other gear like he

ngl i've used both in untreated rooms and the kh80 are way more honest but brutally revealing. kali in5 are fun and forgiving for heavy bass music. if your room isn't treated, the kh80's ma1 calibration kit works magic - measures your room and adjusts the speakers. Neumann MA 1 comes as a bundle wit

I dispute that it takes $6k. Neumann KH80 are all you need for a home studio desk setup. Other similar ones are the Genelec SAM monitors. Pretty much any system that is associated with a DSP system will get you there. As far as why the HS aren’t as performant, it comes down to the same few metrics:

Neumann KH150 + MA1 ; slightly over budget but quality and imo by far the best in this price range/class. Will obviously not sound like ATC, only ATCs will - the neumanns are more linear. Edit: I have the KH310 + KH750 + MA1. I’ve been to many (high end) studios and my setup punches far above its we

Unless people are knocking down your door for atmos mixes 5.1 should be plenty and you can always upscale in the future if you need too. I was in your position recently and went for Neumann KH120 (LCR), KH80 (LsRs) and KH750 (Sub). They were out of my budget originally but having good calibration wa

Yes, bought an m1 Mac mini specifically to by my roon streamer into a Ferrum Wandla and then Ferrum Oor with Hypsos as the headphone station, The desk setup is an M4 Mac Mini with Roon and an RME Adi 2 Pro FS and a pair of Neumann KH80, soon to be upgraded to either the 120 or 150.

Neumann KH80 is really good!

KH80s are amazing speakers at their size but are by no means enough on their own or without a sub for professional mixing and mastering. As a secondary alternate pair to a larger speaker there’s few choices better than kh80’s. But on their own, sorry they are not going to expose details in a mix lik

Here is your annual (weekly? daily? hourly?) reminder that the Neumann KH120 and KH80 exist. The KH120 is ideal but out of your budget. JBL 308P MKII would be my budget choice for this. However (and this isn't insignificant) you need a volume conrol between the ProJect and the powered speakers. Topp

Thanks for your comment man. I actually do have the ISOs and like you said with the tall option, I also don’t feel they are that rigid. I also have their Apertas, which I think is really good, especially aesthetically. They don’t come with the tall option and even though you can lift the front up a
