The S360 is a great problem solver for larger listening distances and/or higher reflective rooms like in typical home stereo or home cinema setups where you usually need more expensive main monitors for sufficient direct sound:
The horizontal directivity of the S360A is a bit smoother than the 8361A one on below comparable S&R tests and the S360A vertical higher directivity of the elliptical waveguide can be an advantage for large listening distances and/or not treated rooms, 8361A is more a midfield studio monitor and S360A more a great solution for typical living rooms and home theatres.
Mit dem Modell S360A betritt der finnische Hersteller Genelec in gewissen Bereichen Neuland. Waren bislang alle Monitore in klassischer Manier mit Kombinationen aus Konus Tief- und Mitteltönern und einer Hochtonkalotte bestückt, so verlässt man bei der S360A jetzt diesen Weg und setzt auf eine...

Here also some comments from their engineer
It is very much a question how good these modes are controlled. Even Purifi is pushing for bigger drivers now. For their current 2-way, Genelec uses a very innert coated paper cone with high Mms. As Anselm Goertz wrote, they sound fantastic and measure so. This is strictly a result of precisely...

On amplifiers, I used Yamaha as an example as a company offering good performing amplifiers for modest cost which are readily available from dealers. Not sure if I'll buy Yamaha though. I love the old school tank like qualities and VU meters of their higher end stereo amps like the AS1100 and...
