Genelec 8260a or 8341a for desk listening.

If you're talking about the pair currently on their site, FWIW I actually ordered and returned those due to the condition. The photos are very kind to the reality. They functioned just fine; I couldn't live with the dented grilles and heavy scuffing in addition to the austere appearance. I also wasn't comfortable with that price given their age (around 12 years IIRC). You may feel differently, just wanted to possibly save you some time

I am. Oh, jeez. I already thought that they looked a little scuffed.

If i were you i would get 8331 + 7360.
With sub, these tiny gens aint gonna work hard in desktop setup + you will get full range sound and best in class imaging.

Hey, I considered that setup, but I felt like the 8331 wouldn't be a big enough step up from my 8030cs. It also isn't really that different in price from the 8341a for me. I do plan to get subs a but after the speakers, but I'm fine waiting an extra month or two for that better longterm quality.

Yes, go for 8341 or 8351. The 7360a is a very excellent sub, btw. (I'd buy those 8260a's, but not for desktop. Have them sandblasted .)

The 7360 seems like good value from what I’ve read about it. In regards to the 8351, I am considering it if I can find it for 6kish once I’m ready to buy. Might be something that has enough of the 8260’s strengths, though a bit more expensive.
