Thanks for sending these in GX! These are a great step forward for USA-made products.

I wonder if the white finish will age like a Les Paul Custom in white.... I've always enjoyed Focal designs, from looks to performance.

To an extent, sure. If I have JBLs that hiss from 3m away, then obtain Genelecs that only hiss from 0.25m away, I may conclude that they don't have a problem with hiss:).

Man...I've had my share of whining and buzzing Crown amps as well!

I don't have a hiss problem on my 8030s. I sit about 3ft/1m from the speakers and have the gain on the speakers set in concert with the my adi2 dac output level which works well. What is your source device? However, like "sound quality", I would suggest that hiss is also subjective. :cool:

Sure, just make sure it's in the room you plan on using it in and in the position you'd prefer.

For some reason, every time I see a 2.5 way design, I expect a ragged response. However, I expected better from these guys. Regardless, I agree, not great in this price range.

We're going to have to get creative here. Can we measure the EMI from the front panels, or perhaps vibration in the xformer.....? People still claim to hear the difference... ;):facepalm::rolleyes: The companies have to add features at this point, though really, that ESS hump still?

Crazy good stuff, love the form factor. I've dealt with less clearance on XLRs than that before. I almost want to pick this up, well, just because....sheesh. Edit: Now that I think about it, we're seeing this type of performance or close to it, quite frequently in the lower price (<$1000)...

That's great, and there are several very knowledgeable folks who can help you out with room correction here. Poke around a few of the forums, and you'll find tons of resources.

I'm somewhat surprised we haven't seen something like what MiniDSP does, with some processing on board, and a sub output that could be EQ'd separately.

Nicely done. I dig the look, though it is difficult for me to get beyond the standard box look. They even beveled the edge of the faceplate. Nice touch.

Look at Teac kickin' it in class D with some nice meters on the front: https://teac.jp/int/product/ap-505/top

That's why metal heads use tube amps, for the distortion!
