The one I have is a motor operated Uplift. I've only had it for a month now, so I don't have a definitive opinion on long-term physical improvements. But I really like it. The goal for these desks isn't to become standing all day, but as a tool to give you more than a static position to be in...
I'd been meaning to fill the cave basement with more stuff to reduce the reverberant effects with the 8361A set-up. I initially wanted it more an entertainment space, but never found a moment in the two years when to make that happen.
So I just up'd and bought a standing desk, moved all my...
I know it doesn't apply to every use case, but it's worth mentioning that GLM also incredibly low latency.
Or rather, the digital processing is seemingly "baked" into the smart monitors and adding GLM adds a negligible (if any) amount of latency. Genelec also spec's the delay with/without EPL...
It's not just that.
It's the capability and ability of having some actual neutral baseline to work with.. in a multitude of environments, arrangement possibilities, and whatever variables.
If someone wants to color their sound in some way, they can achieve that certain sound because they know...
I've always wondered about this review point, so I've always kept mine below 6.5 out of paranoia. But that makes a lot of sense.
Feels good to keep it at 0.0 now, certainly for my OCD lol.
Yep, I can confirm it works just fine for domestic setting. I currently do this with my MiniDSP SHD Coax Out to the 8361A's and have had zero issues.
I remember discussing this concern directly with Paul from Genelec and he mentioned it's a common solution that is totally fine. There should be...
nope.
edit: ok lol. to be less cheeky with a 1 word answer..
Lower end extension is not an issue for me (the room hits 23Hz). The only reason I would need a sub would be to tame a small room mode and dip from left ceiling boundary reflections. But as for where I would put the sub, I'm not...
Been a while since I shared anything, but here's my moody basement bunker -- just reaching a year since I got the 8361's all together.
Frankly, it's still more-or-less the same. Haven't a reason to change anything lol.
FWIW, Genelec measurements are anechoic response, too.
My 8361A's also hit ~23Hz @ -6dB from room gain.
So in my experience, low end-extension isn't really a problem (especially for music); more so, it is various room influences that might cause some dips. Subs could definitely help flatten...
This kind of authoritative input, commenting when you have no personal comparative experience on the matter, is not helpful and amounts to misguidance.
We're trying to discuss why there is a preference for the sound or what is the cause of it.

Regarding the "lack" of high end...
These are absolutely beautiful machines.
I have the GX-625 model as well and it's a standout conversation piece (an eye distraction from the Genelecs too, thankfully lol). I don't have much "official" media to play on it, but they're fun and quite mesmerizing to play around with.. making...
When the music is super loud, it does, yea. I just move it away when I'm in party mode. I sometimes play through the monitors though.
I keep one there and by my desk for motivation. Else, I find myself never picking them up when out of sight.
All of my acoustic stuff are cased up though...
Amusingly, try looking around for large counter stools. I believe these "stools" were from a clearance at Target, of all things. The feets also coupled right into my carpet-concrete floor and I've yet to notice any issues with them.
The good thing about stools is that they often come with load...
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to remove those two large dips on the right corner (it moves around even with my tests in changing speaker and listening position), so it's a room mode or some combination of my room asymmetry and the ceiling. I'll probably get subs to deal with those...
