I am looking to add some active speakers FOR HOME LISTENING. My room is approx 4 x 3.5 meter.
I just listened to the Genelec 8040 B at MusicMatters for an extended time and liked what I heard. They are nearfields but did well at around 2.5 meters in a dedicated treated studio listening room.
They only had a small version of this range Adam monitor (A4V). It sounded fine but was clearly too small for mid field both in power and scale. I did briefly switch in the entry range Adam T7V but it did not compare favourably with the 5 times more expensive Genelecs, sounding tinny and flat and the little (twice the cost of the T7V) A4V sounded fuller and more cohesive but just not powerful enough.
Does anyone here own the Adam A7V and did you compare them to Genelecs?
Like I said, these would be used in a home environment. The Genelecs sounded good in their default configuration but I anticipate anything will sound different in my mostly untreated room (it's a living room after all).
