For me, audio always has been top priority. Over time, I have build a couple of good loudspeaker concepts, and from time to time I bought some pairs of 2nd hand loudspeakers as well. But most of these -certainly after a while- were disappointing. The passive loudspeaker pair that I still have in use and still happy with is from O.L.S. in Breda. This company is manufacturing very exclusive loudspeakers at this day (Oosturum Kharma), but man, one needs budget !
So I took the gamble and -after reading lots of reviews and watching video's- I bought a pair of these KH 310 A's. I have them almost for a year now, therefore I decided to write this review
At the first listening session I already was stunned.
One of the very good properties of these speakers is very direct and clean bass: This always is most difficult to reproduce. The outstanding performance is due to the closed cabinet concept. It is unbelievable how Neumann managed to reproduce audio with these loudspeakers: Simply brilliant. Very clean, no additions, no lies, this is -to my opinion- the de-facto monitor pair that every professional and audio lover needs. They are never boring, nor do I experience fatigue. I had numerous of listening sessions for up to 8 hours (with small pauses in between) and man, I am so happy ;-)
Conclusion: The amount of money Neumann is asking for a pair of these, it is a no-brainer and it is worth each penny. For every person addicted to audio, please check these out.
(Hopefully while more people will do monitoring with these, the loudness-wars hopefully will come to an end. This is because these speakers are forcing one to finally use his/her ears)
