2x8351b + w371 combo. good spl for electronic music?

[DrVenom]

Hello audio friends, I mainly produce and mix electronic music. Quite a while ago and as a result of a move I had to dismantle my main studio. I use to work in a very good room with sm9 focals,always very satisfied with that setup.
Now I want to return to music by setting up my dream studio which I am building from scratch on a fairly large covered terrace. The project is carried out by an acoustic professional who will be in charge of the appropriate measurements, the size of the final room itself I estimate will be approximately 6.5 meters long x 4.5 meters wide x 3.5 meters high with a drop. I'm about to pull the trigger on a 2x8351b + w371 combo. I'm sure i will be extremely pleased , but I don't want to regret not saving more money and opting for the 8361A instead, although from what I've been reading there shouldn't be much difference using the w371.

As for the SPL, will I be okay? Considering that I used the Focals SM9s and was very satisfied (even though they don't sound that loud). I don't have problems with neighbors so I'll be able to take advantage of that and I want to get the most out of my probably once in a very long time investment.

Again, im just about to order the speakers next week, most probably i will be very blown away just want to make sure I'm making a good purchase


thanks!

Mid and tweeter drivers are same for 51b and 61a, w371 will take over the bass so there wont be any benefits from 61s.
I cant imagine how these 2 sub systems will be not enough... I if spl not enough you can pull them closer.

You’ll be more than fine.

it will surely be enough, but consider getting 9320A with this setup instead of glm kit. BTW w371a are made to order, so if you could receive 8351b first that would sweeten the two months or so wait

Yes this is what I would ask the dealer to throw in for free. Solves the DDC problem. I use a Topping but it would be nicer to be 100% Genelec.

Not sure they would give it for free as it's pretty expensive ...

They all give you the $300 GLM kit even with 8331 at $4500. Now your purchase is about $26k. Do you think they want to make the sale or not?

If you find any deals on this particular combo please DM me

You’re idea is to get only one W371A? If so, note that that is not the standard configuration. They are designed to work in close tandem with the monitors, and therefore need to be setup close to them, preferably above the subs. Especially if you use the directivity modes.

You have to contact a couple of dealers. Nobody will advertise lower than MSRP.

Also don't buy at MSRP, I talked with 3 or 4 shops and each gave me a better price than the one you can find on the internet
