New Genelec Main Monitor

[TheKoC]

Any guesses, inside-scoop?

A simple curves adjustment doesn't reveal much:

Yes, the timing is suspicious. I guess they really just want to steal Neumann's thunder with this announcement

 

[JustJones]

Maybe smaller than the 8381A's? Utilizing coaxial in a smaller main?

On Tuesday the 30th of September, at 18.00 EEST, you could be one of the very first to get a look at this game-changing innovation – which builds on our legacy of advanced coaxial driver technology, precision engineering and seamless integration with existing Genelec systems.

And maybe cardoid, with a price that doesn't bring tears to your eyes...

 

[Sokel]

I think we're in business, this could be VERY interesting.
My guess would be double 12" along with 8381's coaxial arrangement in a rectangular box for soffit-mounting.

I would like to be in THAT control room!

LMAO, someone was paying attention!
The Genelec boys for copying Neumann and You for finding out even before release!
Kudos!

The 8381 is what, 36000 Euros a piece? If this is a "smaller" version I have little hope for it beeing anywhere close to 10 Grand

If we're talking medium size mains my guess would be around 20k€/piece for simple configuration like the old ones.
Bigger ones and exotic, new stuff will be comparable to 8381 but mountable if we're talking "pure" mains.

Hmmm speculation. The double triangular vported beveled enclosure has been used in the late 90s by Tannoy and Martin and everyone else for that matter.
Early Christmas for @pearljam.

This pic shows a hole to a big pro driver (so coaxial) or is just a shadow in the center or dust cup?

MoFi style???

A new 2-Way 8000 series would be much better (for me) as it's 20 years old!(!) by now

My 2 pairs 8020a from 2006 work just fine, so what?

In 20 years a lot changed, new drivers/amps could improve the SQ just like what Neumann is doing

 

[Pearljam5000]

Anyways it looks cool and I'm dying to see that it is

 

[boxerfan88]

Do you think the new model we’ll be slotted just below the 8381?
