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

Kali LP6v2 is good, as is the JBL 308. Personally, I'd recommend the Neumann KH80 with bonus points for MA-1 included. For headphones, some Linsoul x Crinacle Zero IEMs are fantastic for $25. Speakers are a tricky subject, but the bottom line is that you can apply EQ with a bit of technical knowledg

I distinctly remember getting my first discman with clip-on Sony headphones, listening to a hiphop CD and wondering why the kickdrum was obscuring the bass, if that was a mistake, deliberate choice, or unavoidable. I have always analyzed music for how it sounds, couldn't help it, so I was naturally

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

Neumann KH80 - the integrated DSP and software only work with the Neumann corrective eq, and it demands that you type in the serial number of the microphone before measurement to apply a corrective curve to the microphone itself. I’d say it’s mind boggling how good it is, miles ahead of the stuff th

I’d suggest Neumann. Kh120 or kh80 in a smaller room.

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

For your setup, the Kali LP6v2 gives excellent value - wide sweet spot, solid low-end for the price, and pairs well with Sonarworks. In a small untreated room, the Genelec 8010A or Neumann KH 80 will translate better due to tighter imaging and built-in DSP (in KH 80). If you can grab KH 80s used wit

The best choice (must have) for an untreated room is to use monitors with built-in DSP and room correction. Such as Neumann KH 80 DSP / KH120 II etc., IKmultimedia iloud micro monitor Pro / MTM II / Precision 5 etc.

Neumann KH 80 + KH 750 or Genelec 8030 + 7050, both with DSP room correction. The bass won't be excessive with properly placed and tuned sub, actually it will be excellent. I personally recommend purchasing a measurement mic, it will help with positioning and equalization - the results will pleasant
