New Genelec Main Monitor

[darth]

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

RAL colors are not available for 8361 according to the website

Maybe some day.

Which setup would you choose :
8361+subs
Or 8380 (not soffit mounted), no subs

With a W371A in the mix, would people still choose the main monitor over ones?

Edit: let's say average family room size of 12x18feet

I'd still take the 8380
$10K less and probably would get me 90% of the 8361+W371 SQ

I don't remember what I did 5 minutes ago
Let alone comments from 5 pages ago
Also I still don't understand why 8361 has more watts

Have you considered going back and re-reading the responses members give you?
The treadmill of repeating the same question over and over doesn't seem to be working for you.

I was looking at the W371A manual. I'm curious what distance those dispersion sonograms for the rear null / side null / floor null we're measured? It seems to me, the front and back woofers on the W371A are spaced too far apart for such clean results in the typical 1-2m measurement distance.

I’m also interested in their W371a design philosophy; how did they realize such a narrow LF directivity pattern? Are the back and front drivers out of phase or something? Anyone?

Are the back and front drivers out of phase or something

This is my understanding. The GLM will adapt W371a to room acoustics with the Ones. W371a is worth of own topic if not existing yet. This is wrong topic anyway since the Mains are not supported with W371a.

Are the back and front drivers out of phase or something?

Correct. The rear woofer cancels out bass from the front.

At which mode is the chart?
Cause it has three:

Complementary mode where the two woofers operate
independently to implement a flat frequency response; this is
the default operating mode.

Directive mode uses the two woofers simultaneously to
create continuous directivity matching with The One three-
way coaxial monitoring loudspeaker; this mode enables the
system to maintain constant directivity down to very low bass
frequencies.

Null-steering modes use the two woofers simultaneously
to enable a directive mode where the direction of minimum
output (null) is set toward a problematic orientation in the
room – enabling this mode reduces back wall, side wall or floor
reflections

Makes sense.

There is no 'SQ' difference between the two as such but they are completely different products for different use cases. Both have their strengths and also their own way of representation. I've heard both and suggest you try hear them too and you'll see what I mean.

Can you share your thoughts about the differences? Thanks

What size of sub would work with the 8380?

 

[Pearljam5000]

Looks pretty big

 

[Flaesh]

What size of sub would work with the 8380?

Almost any (within reason).
Given enough quantity and proper setup.

How much does the base rattle? Can I put a flower pot in there
Also is that next to an 8361?

Yeah it's probably the 8361 because of the LED location

54 kg each! Your flower pot will levitate mr Vador. And yes that's a 8361.
