Neumann KH 80 vs APS Klasik 2020

[yeroc]

Is this that psychoacoustic effect that I'm feeling/hearing in my description above about the full sonic picture of the monitors?

I suspect it is.

We have decades of listening to analogue speakers with atrocious phase issues and that has become a party of what we expect 'hi-fi' audio to sound like. Linear phase (DSP) speakers are more accurate and more natural sounding, but to appreciate that we need to unlearn decades of experience...

Fascinating! It's hard to get away from that analog, phased sound sounding 'right'

Interesting notes here re: the Klasik's phase response in diagram 4.

I guess I like the way this sounds/it sounds correct to me..? Ha!

I'd love to hear Phil Ward's thoughts as well. (Dont know how to tag him here, or if I can)
