Hi Sancus,
Hope links are ok here...I found the 8351’s here: https://musiccitycanada.com/collect...1a-3-way-360w-active-studio-monitor-dark-gray
Do you think they’re worth $2000 a pair more than the 8351’s in a non-studio setting?
Ah I understand now, those are the 8351A, the older(discontinued) model. Personally I wouldn't buy those, the improvements in the 8351B are substantial. The lowest price I'm aware of for the 8351B is $4395/ea.
It's hard for me to answer whether that's worth it or not. Obviously since I own 3 of them I thought it was worth it, but it is certainly a lot of money, and I haven't personally A/B tested the 8350A vs the 8351B. I am sure the 8351B sound better, but I do suspect it's an incremental difference and a reasonable person could say it's not worth it. I think there is something to be said for buying "the best" Genelecs and then not thinking about whether you would like an upgrade for a long time, though
If you don't want to deal with external/other room correction like Dirac, GLM is a very big upgrade, so I would make sure to get it(both the 8350A and 8351B have it).
