What problems are you having with your "third ! pair of Neumanns KH80"?lilith wrote:As I still have problems with my third ! pair of Neumanns KH80 i'm going to switch them with the Presonus Eris 5 likely. I wanted to go for the KH120, but the guy in the music store said he would prefer the Eris 5 over the KH120, especially regarding the much lower price. The saved money I'll invest in room treatment and plugins.
I send you a message. I assume I just had extremely bad luck or maybe some problems are due to transporting issues.Spanner wrote:What problems are you having with your "third ! pair of Neumanns KH80"?lilith wrote:As I still have problems with my third ! pair of Neumanns KH80 i'm going to switch them with the Presonus Eris 5 likely.

Tried room treatment/plugins for KH80s? Yamaha HS5 also worth considering depending on budget/music style. Happy to offer more specific advice if you share details!

I am happy with my KH120A, the older model. After room treatment I added a KH805 subwoofer.
I read that the KH120's successor is made of plastic and has builtin DSP room correction as the KH80 have. I don't like that because Neumann offers an iOS-app only. No-one wants to buy an iPad or iPhone just to setup his speakers. And after 10 years or so the app is likely to be abandoned. No, thanks.

I have the KH120 (old model) since 1.5 years now. I fear one them got a drop out a few days ago. Still warranty and I'll keep an eye on it. Could also come from a plugin that I used. Plastic is fine, because it's good plastic and they are a bit more lightweight now. They even go slightly deeper. But I totally agree with the app. There was and Android version planned in the beginning and that why I bought the KH80.
Meanwhile I do my room correction simply that way based on REW measurements. I also apply the same setting to both speakers.... keep it simple!
@lilith I also use LSP for room correction. That is a very old version you have, current is 1.2.15. It has a much improved GUI and better performance. There is also an X8 version with 8 bands rather than 16.
