I've briefly heard this speaker and own it's predecessor. Thank you
@amirm for the review.
I found the measurements pretty disappointing to be honest. But given that I really love my beolab 9's for more than 10 years, own the Genelec 8030 and heard the 8351, I think I get a pretty good idea what I like and what is important to me.
Imo the beolabs sound kind of 'safe' , refined, compared to the Genelecs. The Genelec 8351's sound noticably clearer and have a better stereo image. Still the frequency response is pretty good. And the distortion at 86db still fine. Not sure if the comparison between them and the Focals is something I would say, but that's
@amirm 's opinion and I'm fine with that.
What I take from this review and the ones before is that the Genelecs and Neumann speakers are truly state of the art and that an AVR is actually a very sensible choice for musical enjoyment. (Sub, eq)
