    Genelec 8320a Review (Powered Monitor)

    Yes, but for use for surrounds... I very much doubt that could make any (real) difference, considering the system as whole. https://www.genelec.fi/8320a https://www.genelec.com/8330a

    Genelec 8320a Review (Powered Monitor)

    Moneywise, personally I would not hesitate to choose 8320`s. You have several variables in your system. The actual SPL for 8320 is 100dB https://www.genelec.com/8320a (one speaker measurment, without sub or room effects). With your listening distances, I very much doubt that SPL could couse any...

    Hifiman Sundara Review (headphone)

    After gave my last set of headphones (hd58x) to my son. I was in kind of a need for new ones. Mostly have been using speakers (Genelec G2 or 8340+7350 sub) and use of headphones have been very random for several years. Today I got Sundara`s in mail, and I have to say that after 4 hours of...

    Genelec, how great are they really? The best?

    And for the OP`s question; The best? I doubt there is such brand. Individual preferences make sure, that there are plenty of options to choose from. And, from practical aspect... Deciding would require real world experience. In Your own listening enviroment, I believe. Hard task to do, if even...

    I'm torn on what speakers to buy guys...

    https://jazztimes.com/reviews/products-and-gear/active-speakers-vs-passive-speakers/ After decades, using passive speakers. Found The World of Active. And would not change back. In my opinion, if done right. The precise tuning of the speaker is cheaper (and more effective in price-quality...

    Genelec, how great are they really? The best?

    Bought my first "real" audio gear in 80`s. Have some experience how the value drops, right after you carry out new stuff from store. This is, no doubt very good point when considering options. Of course depending, how "end game" gear you are buying. At least here in Finland, value drop in...

    Genelec, how great are they really? The best?

    The "Direct Sound Dominance" optimum range of listening distances. Is intent to (professional) studio working. Otherwise, with listening distance for example ca. 3 metres, one would have to go for 1237 level or 1234 to ca. 3.8 metres to stay in optimum distance. In my opinion and experiences...

    Genelec 8340

    Just got message, that 8340`s will arrive next weeks tuesday. Unfortunately, my night shifts end friday. So, it will take at least next weeks weekend to test these. Early Christmass for me anyway! Here`s some side comparison from left to right G1, G2, G3 and G4. Except weight, dimensions are...

    Genelec 8340

    From my own experienses and messages from Genelec (asked them about this subject), (main, but not only) difference with 7350 and 7360 is the used SPL. To me, high SPL, isn`t that important. Otherwise, no doubt, i would got 7360 over 7350.

    Genelec 8340

    And, of course there is possibility to manually adjust (or fine adjust!) the GLM to match your references. I was also in the edge of buying 7360 insted of 7350, but decided that the SPL (and 22 Hz-160 Hz vs 19 Hz-150 Hz) met my needs within budget. I am very satisfied, how the 7350 handles low...

    Genelec 8340

    There is also possibility, that i could use two 7350`s with the 8340 pair. But just have to wait till i get new speakers to determine how it sounds. This will be very long waiting. 1-2 weeks, after this decision which took over an year to make, feels eternity now. Just now, listening Pink...

    Genelec 8340

    I have the GLM already. And have used that, with the 7350sub, which i have. In store, there was possible to compare 7330/7340 with and without GLM. Difference was huge, in my opinion. Midrange got crystall clear in a good way with GLM, also almost all boominest with lower freq. were gone. I was...

    Genelec 8340

    And also, moved into a smaller apartment recently. So after long comparison (budget wise also). My desision was get pair of 8340. After those arrive, I have to make desision to either sell or keep the 7350 sub.

    Genelec 8340

    Now, I have sold my M030`s and listening music right now thru G2 and 7350. Not optimal at all, but also I am not bleeding from my ears. Actually, not bad at all.

    No. I was in fear that I would have to have those (budget).

    Genelec 8340

    After very, very hard decision making, today i pulled the trigger and ordered pair of 8340. The (only for me) option for 8340 was 8330. Difference in amp`s, was the main reason for this decision. Sometimes (rarely) i like to play very loud. Difference in price here in Finland was about 1000...

    Genelec 8320 or 8330, with 7350 sub?

    From Ilkka Rissanen`s reply as above: "That is mainly because a small speaker is not very directive and it has only moderate maximum SPL capability", my only concern is the directivity for 8330 (and 8340), to my listening position which is 2,5metres. Altought, if I am getting this right, that...

    Genelec 8320 or 8330, with 7350 sub?

    In the chart, i believe it is 75m3 (cubic metre), not 75m2. "Note even my 8330s can get incredibly loud - they're rated to fill a room up to 75m2. In comparison I have a pair of JBL 308ps that I struggle to get loud enough in a room about your size. Here's the db at various distances."
