Genelec 8361A Review (Powered Monitor)

[KaLam1ty]

The jokes aside, some actual advice to review: https://www.genelec.com/monitor-placement
Also, Genelec's Youtube channel has recent overviews of the latest GLM iteration and Marcel's webinars on the matter.

Really consider where you're going to place them (and your current and future furniture arrangement). Because they're a pain to move later.

Is it better to use GLM or use convolution filters / PEQ in roon, or use both - to correct below transition.

Anyone use 8631 in a corner type placement - looking 2-3m listening distance.

Interesting with the headrest. Thank you.

So I set up my 8341s in my office room with 2x7360. That room has an office chair with no headrest. That really does change things. No mid bass lulls.

Does the latest version of GLM accommodate multiple subs?

That was a couple of years ago if I remember correctly. Very hard to get. I wonder if they will allow custom color orders. I believe they do.

So, any tips or anything I should be watching out for / doing?

You can disassemble them and paint in any color you fancy in any auto body shop

That's one sexy setup!

Since it's all metal, you could probably also be really fancy and do a vitreous enamel coating

Yep, only 100 pairs produced I believe. I've never seen them for sale used.

Disassemble them and risk voiding the warranty’

 

[Sancus]

afaik custom colors are basically "you have to ask", there is a significant upcharge if they say yes, and they're much less likely to say yes if you're only buying two speakers. More likely to do so if you're buying a lot for multichannel or a whole studio or whatever.

It's weird that they offer the cheaper models in 120 colors but the Ones in 2-3 max

It's because the Ones are meant to be used as studio tools. Heard but not seen.

The installation models are aimed at cafes, restaurants and other places where they need to fit in with the decor.

However, even for those you can choose between three colors.
