Well been testing the Alphas for a few days now and i have to say for the price range they are awesome. Way better than my Adam A7`s where in the low end, its crisp, punchy and Low. The mids are clear and the highs are pretty crisp although maybe the Adams are better here, but their ribbon tweeter is pretty hard to beat.
Lets see how they sound was i have "run them in" but i have to say they are well worth the £525 i paid for them  Happy customer.

im a huge fan of KH O300, so... yeah, like said, with some MORE budget, the OLD ones are still one of my first choices. im not sure about Neumann“s new version of it. i read pretty much everywhere they cant reach the O300.
thanks for the ino on the Focal Alpha!! though i dont like its appearing (ugly to say the least  ), i do like a lot of what i read. in my current situation, they seem to fit, but really..... i never heared any focal monitors. they catched my ear in whichever car i sat in, giving them a listen.... blowin my mind... but its been cars! ^^ so, i really need to find someone or shop nearby to give them a chance. for their price.... for now i would go for other 2way solutions i already know. tbh, that price or some more, theres a lot of 2way solutions making things interesting.
thanks for your hint, i was really in doubt they could deliver better crisp lowend. i need to hear them to judge if it remains true in response. but like said, the car hifi components and woofers are defo TOPNOTCH. their drivers really fast and crisp. worth a try if i find them around. hopefully can give my opinion to that soon.
thanks guys, thanks a very lot !! been really helpful, feel free to keep em coming. not sure anymore if 2 or 3 way the more i look for solutions, the more gaga i get
cheers!

the KH o300 and the Neumann o300 are identical. Neuman bought KH one day, so all that has changed is the Name.

ok, i think we talk about different ones. I did not mean the KH 310, they came around 2013. What i ment, was that Neumann shipped the KH 0300 from 2009 and up i think to the stores. We sold them so i`m pretty sure there were a batch o300 with Neumann logo on it. Thought that was standard from there on.
http://www.neumann-kh-line.com/neumann-kh/home_de.nsf/root/prof-monitoring_discontinued-monitors_studio-products_O300#
But you would agree that the companys merged, as you can see in the url already.
Ok the KH 310 might sound pretty different, i agree.
well, thats actualy pretty sad that they discontinued them.

yeah i know they merged and first sold the o300 under their label. i first heared the o300 in the store you were working that time
sorry for confusing, thought you were mentioning the kh310 ^^
i dunno why and its really really sad they discontinued them. i“d rather by used 0300 than the kh310.
cheeridoO man

opal are supposed to be more suited for electronic music than KH , these have a very dry and punchy bass and seems to be amazing sounding monitors but you need a working pair
310 are upgraded 300, ( more headroom and other stuff..) it seems these are not best suited for bass heavy music but i m sure these would work..but maybe not best choice for the cash
check psi too |

in the end a monitor doesn`t have to sound great, they need to translate well. Thats why so many studios got the yamaha NS 10 in their rooms, they sound like crap, but if you got a good mix on these, the mix will sound good everywhere else.
So its not always about the wow effect, but a flat response.

as a second pair i think , for our music imo we are not mixer but producer and we need inspiring speaker that sound great but also offer good translation. |

also ns10 are not flat at all, and room may color so much that no one hear their monitors like it trully sound, the thing is to find the good match between both the speaker and the sound of the room, but flat reponse dont mean much.. even our hearing is not flat |

hey buddy,
thanks for kicking in, giving your two cents well im sure eve“s will do their job nicely, i anyways need to hear a pair of them. to me actually its more about the low content, i bet eve just like adams are crisp and very detailed in highs, not sure bout their work in the downarea.
Opal are still with the best i had the pleasure to listen in their pricerange, top notch. i anyways liked the KH o300 way more. both tested in well treated rooms. they both are bliss choices, i guess somewhere its a matter of taste at the end.
i kinda asked for 3 ways cause i dont want to upgrade another time again that soon and thought i might get around spending 10-20 grands for it well...... might have to wait some more ^^
anyways this is getting a hard choice i need to get my head around some more soon the rolloff thingy, thanks for mentioning colin, sure is another topic i got in mind i guess my idea about getting a good pair of 3ways in a pricerange of upper class 2ways wasnt that realistic. anyways manufacturers try surely to attract customers and blow your mind with nonsense datasheets and unbelievable prices
thanks for all the input guys! much appreciated!
