When the time comes, it will be between the 1237a and 8361a, although I plan on doing a baffle wall, making the 1237a the logical option.

I'm using the Genelec 8350's for LCR and 8030c for surrounds in a simple 5.1 setup (Eminence NSW6021-6 subwoofer with QSC PL380). Basic layout compared to some of the HT arrangements seen, but absolutely stunning quality. I plan on moving the 8350's to surrounds, the 8030c to atmos and using the...

+/- 0.5db from 70-20khz. Could this be the flattest on axis speaker tested yet? It’d be good to see some measurements for that ;)

I have these and whilst they are very SPL limited, tonally they are very similar to the other higher Genelec models (I have 8030c and 8350a). With a subwoofer, crossed 120hz or above, they can get to comfortable levels in the nearfield, push them and they become very distorted, but this is to be...

I didn't think this situation could get worse but his behaviour and posts on Facebook are truly disgraceful. It's almost like he enjoys acting this way. He clearly is not able to apply any ounce of logic to his narrative. The 'new' measurements from Amir and Erin have barely changed, but he's...

Discussing someone's behaviour does not necessitate the use of personal insults.

6 monitors? What layout are you going for?

Speak to Steve Guttenberg. His review is linked on your site and he did not have the feet installed in his speaker either. In that case, are you saying his review is also erroneous and shouldn’t be trusted? What’s hard to fathom is a designer making feet a supposedly integral part of the design...

It’s going to be entertaining if/when these speakers get measured with the feet in, “on the correct listening axis” and the result barely changes - all the highlighted problems still remain the same. I wonder what more ‘measurement accuracy’ excuses he’s got in the bag. I still can’t get over...

Why is Steve Guttenbergs review on your site linked when he clearly also does not have the feet installed into the same speaker that Erin reviewed?

Watched the Youthman discussion last night. Some interesting findings. Namely Eric’s problem with Erin’s review was that it was erroneous due to Erin not having the feet installed. Interestingly, Tekton have the very positive review from Steve Guttenberg linked on their site, also showing that...

Disgraceful manufacturer communication aside, it's always bugged me how literally none of the woofers in the Tekton designs are flush mounted. I understand it's not absolutely necessary in terms of function, but in terms of form it looks lazy and almost unfinished imo. I can't think of any...

Boomy bass is rarely a function of the subwoofer itself, but of the room-subwoofer combination. As you aren't using any DSP or even applying a simple HPF-LPF crossover between your speakers and subwoofer, I really don't see the point in adding one. You might get more bass, but it isn't going to...

Moral of the story, blast your cats with high level music for a few seconds so they stay away, much like the hoover which my cat is deathly afraid of.

Please just buy a set of monitors and enjoy some music. I've never seen anyone ask for so many recommendations or A vs B comparisons and never actually buy anything.
