Hi
I think a part of the front baffle is aluminum like in 8381 but not sureHi
As I mentioned, subjective...
It can be used at those distances of course, I would submit that, it is unlikely that it would be acquired for nearfield, as opposed to the many options from the Genelec "The Ones" line up. As main monitor and at their prices, to repeat they have competition. The JBL M2 comes to mind but , one constantly overlooked speaker, yet reviewed here: the Neumann KH 420 does play in their sandlot , "Main Monitors" likely listening positons, 3 to 4 meters, at about half the price. the KH420, can also "do" 122 dB at 1 meter .. so ...
Not crapping on this superb speaker. noting in this discussion, that it does have competition.
@Pearljam5000 Is it made of Alu? If not you should be looking elsewhere
Edit: MDF... Back to the search
Agreed. I feel like if they felt they would be used outside a soffit mount they would have rounded all the edges. They had to keep it this way for backwards compatibility.
Also the W371 has an easily removable electronics module.Back to the tech - they have their electronics in an external module, which is nice, perhaps makes it even serviceable without having to send the speaker "around the planet":
Maybe you aren’t contemplating the size of this? It already costs $10k and weighs 120 pounds. An all aluminum design would rival Magico in weight and cost.@Pearljam5000 Is it made of Alu? If not you should be looking elsewhere

Unfortunately the colors only go up to 8351. 8361 doesn’t get the colors.

@Ilkka Rissanen has already answered this "We'll see" (if desired).Where's the 8370A, the 12 inch version?
? Bit of context.. It is a friendly back and forth, we have with @Pearljam5000 : He dreams of one day acquiring a pair of Genelec speaker, but their enclosure must be made of Alu, else ,no deal, no matter the performances.. Alu or bust !
Fabric front covers…. it also gives nice feeling when green led shines through imo.
He’s always got some reason not to acquire.
I disable that light in GLM.
If had the $$$$ I would have acquired a long time ago.

It's FAR too cheap for domestic higher end buyers to consider in all honesty. I now despair of the domestic scene, at least here, as survival and profit count for much of it I reckon, as the 'performance' of too much high end domestic gear is inferior to stuff like this.@Ilkka Rissanen has already answered this "We'll see" (if desired).
This is a square box, easy to veneer. And looking at dispersion data, it'll be excellent free standing too. A full spin would be nice to see, and then high end home market should be more ready. Not sure what the wifes would say

Ok, now I can't unsee the cat's head, thank you very much!
