    $20-25k budget. Currently eyeing Genelec 8361A, KEF Blade One Meta, and the B&W 801D4.

    I live in downtown Austin, TX. Planning on staying where I’m at for another 1-2 years but unsure where I’ll end up after that. Considered buying speakers last year but passed because I figured I’d wait until I moved into a house somewhere. But some recent tragedies made me realize how short and...

    $20-25k budget. Currently eyeing Genelec 8361A, KEF Blade One Meta, and the B&W 801D4.

    Thank you everyone for the input! I’m going down the slippery slope now and considering increasing my budget to $30k or so now… Still trying to pore through hundreds of pages on other threads but front runners for me now are Genelec 8351B/W371A vs a used set of KEF Blade One Metas with maybe a...

    $20-25k budget. Currently eyeing Genelec 8361A, KEF Blade One Meta, and the B&W 801D4.

    Hmm actually I may separate my room and set up a listening area for part of the room. The length of the listening area will be about 14’ long then, but I’ll probably be seated about 11’-12’ back from the speakers this way. I suppose I could get a carpet and some of those acoustic foam panels off...

    Appreciate that info! Do you think I would need two Hypex Nilai 509 DIY mono blocks for both of them? I recall reading about NAD somewhere. I want to say the amp suggested was the NAD C399. Would that be a worthy alternative? Reason I ask is because I believe that option offers sound corrections...

    $20-25k budget. Currently eyeing Genelec 8361A, KEF Blade One Meta, and the B&W 801D4.

    A ton of votes for the KEF Blades! The room they'll be going into is roughly 21'x14' and the listening distance will be about 18-19' back. Currently no room treatment as I just moved into this new place, but I may be moving again in another 2-3 years so I don't know how much room treatment...

    $20-25k budget. Currently eyeing Genelec 8361A, KEF Blade One Meta, and the B&W 801D4.

    Looking to buy some nice speakers and I've been eyeing the used market. It seems that all of these options are in my budget if I'm willing to go used. I don't have any places near me to demo them, but I was curious if anyone's been able to compare these options previously. The wallet certainly...

    Genelec 8361A Review (Powered Monitor)

    Thinking about getting a pair of Genelec 8361A from my living room. I plan to be mostly using them to listen to music 75% of the time, but I'm wondering how well they would handle movies and video games the other 25% of the time. Anyone here use them as such? Thanks! Also I see the base...
