So - one of my existing monitors is dong odd things, so need to replace them.
Its a small room, and placement isnt that versatile so I need front facing ports, of completely sealed units (which rules out any Genelecs). I tend to go for 5" monitors (I have a Yamaha HS8 sub I use for playback, so total low end extension isnt necessary) - though Im open to 4" up to 6.5" if they suit.
Always the first I look at are Adam A5x's - and they are on the cards. I dont want to go lower/cheaper than those though. Neumann KH120s are too much for me at £1000 the pair really - though Ive tucked them away in my brain just in case.
So - looking at options priced between the 2. Thats between about £500 and £900 the pair. Ive had a brief look (on paper specs) at the Neumann KH80s, the Focal Shape 50s, and the Dynaudio LDY-5s. So any comparisons between those speakers, or other worthwhile suggestions please.
Comments
But I'd buy the Neumanns if you can, worth spending that bit more for years of enjoyment.
KH80's have much less bottom end- don't just go on specs, go listen to them.
