Hey everyone!~ Back for a little while to humbly seek some advice for a new setup!
I've been pondering on upgrading my PC setup forever now, and I think I'm quite set on going with a full Genelec monitor plus subwoofer solution. Now I know there are better options than the F Two subwoofer out there, but aesthetically it fits my study and an 8" woofer is sufficient for my use-case. I'm also lazy and I like the fact that the F Two has dip-switches to deal with the crossover frequencies for whatever Genelec monitors you with to match the subwoofer with.
So here's my predicament: since I'm going to be using the F Two subwoofer, should I be good with the smaller G Two monitors or should I still try to aim for the G Three? I do have the space for the G Three, but if I can go with the slightly smaller G Two I'd be happier (from both a table real-estate and aesthetics point of view).
Annoyingly I can't seem to find a frequency response plot for the F Two subwoofer, but Genelec claims it goes up to 85Hz (-6dB) while the G Two monitors go down to 56Hz (-6dB) and the G Three monitors down to 47Hz (-6dB). My main issue though is that the G Three does look a little more level in its frequency response plot than the G Two, but my fear is that due to the configuration of my PC setup if I get the G Three I may not be able to angle it optimally so that the tweeters are facing my ears since it is a larger speaker, but I'll definitely have no problems with properly positioning the G Two.
I could make the G Three work, but what do you guys think? Should I really try and aim for the G Three if I'm going to be spending this amount of money, or should I be good and happy with the G Two? The price difference between the G Two and G Three aren't a concern for me, it isn't really that much.
Appreciate any advice! Cheers!
