Topic: Babyface + Neumann KH120a monitors ;) wow!
Hi,
I just got a Babyface to drive the new Neumann KH120a monitor speakers and I just had to say this is definitively a winning combination.
It was already quite something to get the monitors, but the Babyface drive them like they are made for it. There are of course technical reasons for this, which I believe are related to the fact that both companies (K&H now owned by Neumann and RME) have established a strong reputation in what relates to the precision of the stereo image and the neutrality/fidelity of the frequency response.
So far it's a success story, there is no background noise at all, even at maximum volume. It sounds really amazing (tested with a recording of Mahler's 9th Symphony...)
Anyway, congratulation to the RME team. I was hesitant at first, the Apogee Duet 2 was tempting (but words were circulating about the coloured frequency response), and I thought the Babyface was made in thin plastic... But now I see, it's made for people who can appreciate it.
I also appreciate the humour in the manual!
