Hello @helomech , I certainly understand your gravitating to clean pure sound. this leads me towards a pair of YG Hailey 2.2s. Amazing speakers, all the resolution and detail, lack of distortion. But they became a bit much for me and my highly resolving electronics. My new Vivid Giyas are plenty resolving, but much more easy and enjoyable. They truly are a 'whole body' speaker, where I would call the Hailey's a 'brain' or head speaker. No tubes mind you, but much more feel and presence in the low mids and bass that just makes for a fantastic full range balance and experience. No experience with powered pro gear, but my years ago M and K monitors approached the clinical sound you seem to want, and were a bit on the pro studio side of things; crisp and clear and great imaging. But less 3d soundstage and envelopment with emotional involvement.
Okay, I am Taking the Pro Audio Plunge
Over the last year, I’ve read seemingly countless anecdotes about how pro audio gear can trounce alleged “HiFi” brands of the usual suspects, dollar-for-dollar. I am talking Pro Audio brands the likes of Neumann, Genelec, Adam and ATC Pro.
Some allege that models from these brands represent the true state-of-the-art in speaker design. I mean, say what you want about ASR and their implicit bias, but how can you ignore reviews such as this?:
I felt compelled to test this theory to the best of my ability, and within my means. Thusly, I purchased the Neumann KH310 monitors to test at home.
So what do you believe I might expect when these are compared to my Satori Helios Textremes and modest Parasound A21? I plan to listen at “mid-field” distances.
Regards
