G- Brand all the way!

Personally I think Genelec has been making these aluminium eggs for a long time and their track record of servicing legacy models is excellent. (This was for Frank...)
P.s. That fancy lounge chair is for reading - not for listening
The diecast ally enclosure with built in waveguide for the 2-way speakers has been around for a long time.
The "ones" are new, particularly the weird shaped bass units and digital electronics.
I imagine they are exceptional at servicing but, as far as I am concerned, just needing a service is an inconvenience too far.
I am used to using stuff I like for decades, as soon as there is network connection there may be updates and compatibility issues. My Devialet Phantoms are superb but are now 5 years old and already are hardware incapable of running the latest firmware and operating system.
I already didn't like the fact that they had to be connected to an app or dedicated blutooth control to adjust volume.
I hardly ever plug them in nowadays.
