Of the 3 new monitors...
« on: 9 Nov 2008, 10:07 pm »
The Neo-2X seems to be the most popular / well received of the 3 new offerings.  Can anyone comment on the differences between the Neo 2X and the two variants of the Neo-1?

Spec wise, the Neo-1 and 1X are not as sensitive, but they do have more bottom end extension.  One might also speculate that the quality of bass from the acoustic suspension design would be better than that of the ported design, no?

It's the Neo-1 that has slightly higher sensitivity (87db) compared to the Neo-1X and Neo-2X (85db).

The ported version of the Neo-2X will play the lowest at a -3db of 40Hz, but is a small floor standing version.

For stand mounted versions the ported Neo-1X plays slightly lower.

If used with a sub (especially a servo sub) I would favor the sealed box Neo-2X (slightly).

Danny,

Take a look at the specs listed as below the picture of the kit...

as of this writing it says "-3db is 65hz" but in the description above the kit it says "-3db down point to 40Hz."

If you read through it 65hz is for sealed small monitor and 40hz is for ported floor standing.

So the stand mount monitor is -3db at 65hz?
