Genelec setups in living rooms [how to]

[Nattage]

they're so capable, the minimalist in me is considering down sizing the front 3 to match!

 

[AudioBean]

Both styles look great to me.

Obviously this forum will lead to you upgrading the rear pair rather than downgrading the front trio

My music/media room, have replaced my 1031A's after 27 years with a set of 8351B and are super happy with them

Far from optimal with multiple compromises I had to make.. yet it sounds phenomenal paired with Trinnov and SVS.

I don't see why Genelec's are any harder to integrate than the typical bookshelf on a stand.

They aren't!

B (1031A replaced by 8351B, sorry for the mixup)

Where did you get the white stands? I couldn't find them when I was looking. Great set up btw

Thanks. The China Genelec distributor custom ordered them from K&M in white.

A short while ago I moved out of my parents place and so I now have a nice (I think) living room. I know I need longer cables for connection with Bluesound Node, so I can hide the Bluesound Node in the TV-Console and the cable inside the stand.

Lovely setup. Which 8 series are those and which stands are you using?

The decor is not to my taste but the speakers are and I imagine the sound must be phenomenal

 

[Nattage]

Was never quite satisfied with my centre stand and nothing Genelecs do fitted, so I've customised some common MDF Amazon (from china) speaker stands. Had to cover the centre post in vinyl as black wasn't available. I also cut the top plate to match the isopod size better and wrapped that. Best bit is adding M3 bolts to the top plate for the isopod feet to pop on. Will get black isopod feet as I think it looks better.
Oh and of course drilling holes to hide cables inside.
