Hi to all!
Was convinced buying 8341A, but found a good offer for 8260A.
You can find my room info here.
I’m choosing between those two models, not for main characteristics but maybe for prices.
I’ve had a good opportunity for buying 2 8260A for 4K (used,5 years of working), at the same price of the latest 8341A (new).
As far as I know, they changed the coaxial driver with it’s second iteration of it and different amplifiers (removing vertical directivity as a variable).
I’m using them in a untreated room (but serve it’s purpose good actually).
Distance will be between 1.5m to 2m from them so, a nearfield listening.
I mostly produce and master bass music, so those extra hz (8260A 23Hz -6dB) in the bottom end of the spectrum may be beneficial.
So my questions:
Is the midrange of the new coaxial driver really that different compared to the second generation?
Does Genelec monitors broke easily? If so, does someone had experience with their repair service and their costs?
Would 8341A be better fitted for those listening distances?
Many thanks in advance to everyone!
