Thank you @amirm
It appears these speakers would benefit from subwoofers to increase the maximum volume. Just my preference, but for 8k I would prefer some floor standing Revel's, subs and a decent amp. Part of this is due to there being no Genelec dealer in the Houston area, the other is the common aversion to expensive integrated speaker systems. I do recognize Genelec is far more likely to have parts, but after 7 years, there is no obligation.
At least in my room, another weakness is that the bass drivers are close to ear level. I have dips in 100-200hz region that can only be resolved by moving the speakers closer to floor. Subwoofer with 80hz crossover is not enough. The W371A unit addresses this, but it's extremely expensive and not ideal height for home listening.
