I absolutely adore these monitors.
I also completely agree if anyone says a sub is almost required to get the most out of them.
I only own the 8330a's and 7350a for nearfield; but judging by the other Genelec reviews and my limited experience, Genelec's really need to be experienced as a "package". Again, not saying you can't be happy with just the 2.0, but the extra headroom and placement flexibility makes a world of difference.. And of course the missing low end...
When it comes to the smaller Genelecs, I think if anyone is interested in their line, it would be wise to consider whatever future investment may be needed for one of their subs if going GLM, or something easy to integrate. Unfortunately not cheap though.
For your entertainment, here are some photos from a few months back during 4.0 GLM calibration. I know I know.. the glass desk isn't doing any wonders. This was not originally a listening space, but with the whole WFH situation, I needed something that could be flexible with my office space:
Also, very interesting to see expectations from floor-bounce response matching almost exact with the above measurements (..again... Glass desk not helping haha!):
I plan to do a 4.1 test and compare - though I'm also in the means of packing a messy room, so I'm not sure if it'd be a fair 1:1 comparison. I'll share when I can spare the moment.
In any case, I am truly happy with these Genelecs. My new home comes up early next year, where I plan to put together an actual listening room with the 8351b's.
