Yes sorry I forget about the subs. Without the subs I think they would be quite a bit less also I add a generous +5dB slope to the base.

Not after you hear them. You’ll realize soon that closer sounds better. From the quick mental math I did you’d be closer to the back wall than the actual speakers. Which is not optimal for what these are designed for.

Okay now I get it. I can easily 107dB from 1 meter so I have to wonder what sort of SPL issues he had. Okay I won’t say easily. That’s about the limit where I sit around 107dB.

That cabinet is designed by Genelec for this purpose. I bet they considered the diffraction situation.

It seems like a lot of overthinking going on. Better to just go audition a pair.

It’s not that coaxials sound better closer it’s that all systems will have a better direct/reflected ratio if you sit closer. In the case of a well treated room the treatment carries a lot of that burden. What coaxials let you do is the ability to sit much closer if your room needs you to do so.

It’s a great system. In fact when I first auditioned the 8351 I was seated about 4m away. It blew me away and I have other posts describing that situation. They didn’t have subs so they played mostly slower low bass music. They still blew me away. However when I got these home I realized...

Yes they can fill a room no doubt but the still sound best within 2m.

Yep either that or mini dsp if you wish to try Dirac.

That’s fine too. Just use the Canare spdif to aes converter.

You can budget your entire life for 5 years.

You might have a point. Claims 10Kw maximum input power. But I wonder does it need 240v or 3 phase power. A regular 110v outlet will trip past 1875w.

At $350k it better deliver.

Wax on wax off. Adult mechano set.

Depends on the SPL requested but yes at higher SPL it will have more distortion.

It’s more than enough.

100% agree with this. Sometimes domestic peace is non negotiable.

They spent years working out the interface between the mid driver cone and the mount. That kind of work doesn’t come free. It’s like saying why is this CPU $400 it’s just melted sand.

Not on pro audio. Also they are worth every penny.

Hair dryer would work fine.
