Small Size Powered Bookshelf Speakers
Ranked #2 of 25 in Small Size Powered Bookshelf Speakers - Genelec 8010A: $900 per pair B&H Photo Video eBay
Pros: ASR’s Klippel measurements support a neutral compact monitor: the response spans 2.5dB from 300Hz to 5kHz, with lower narrow-band variation in the listening window than directly on-axis. Spinorama predicts 4.10 standalone and 7.01 with an ideal subwoofer, making it a strong choice when bass is handled separately. Its measured balance provides firmer evidence for critical listening than a recorded sound demonstration alone. Measured bass extension of 74Hz (-3dB).
Cons: The measured -3dB point is about 78Hz, so deep bass is missing without a subwoofer. The small enclosure and woofer are better suited to close listening than room-filling levels; the preference score does not measure headroom. The D3V offers substantially deeper measured bass in a similarly compact format, while the Genelec’s premium price is harder to justify for casual desktop use.

Medium Size Powered Bookshelf Speakers
Ranked #1 of 68 in Medium Size Powered Bookshelf Speakers - Genelec 8331A: $4,500 per pair B&H Photo Video eBay
Pros: Erin’s Klippel measurements support its reference-monitor credentials: a 1.4dB response span from 300Hz to 5kHz, low listening-window and predicted-room irregularity, and preference scores of 6.57 standalone and 8.51 with an ideal subwoofer. The coaxial mid/tweeter and concealed woofers maintain coherent radiation as listening position changes. Bass reaches -3dB around 48Hz, and GLM adds level, delay and room-response calibration. Measured bass extension of 49Hz (-3dB).
Cons: Expensive, with studio-oriented XLR connectivity rather than consumer streaming. The compact woofers still limit deep-bass output, and the review reports protection muting when pushed beyond its operating range. GLM calibration hardware is an additional purchase. Its excellent tonal score does not remove the need for a subwoofer or larger monitor at demanding levels.

Ranked #3 of 68 in Medium Size Powered Bookshelf Speakers - Genelec 8030C: $1,750 per pair B&H Photo Video eBay
Pros: ASR’s Klippel measurements show a 1.9dB response span from 300Hz to 5kHz and smooth listening-window behavior. Predicted preference scores of 5.35 standalone and 7.60 with an ideal subwoofer support its high position for tonal accuracy. Broad, controlled horizontal radiation makes the balance relatively stable across a desk, and bass reaches -3dB around 56Hz. Measured bass extension of 59Hz (-3dB).
Cons: A dip around 2-3kHz remains, and vertical placement is less forgiving than the horizontal coverage suggests. Deep-bass headroom is limited; isolated high-output measurements at higher frequencies do not describe full-band loudness. The review found demanding bass material could cause audible distress beyond moderate levels. A subwoofer is useful for full-range monitoring.

Ranked #7 of 68 in Medium Size Powered Bookshelf Speakers - Genelec 8330A: $2,250 per pair B&H Photo Video eBay
Pros: ASR’s measurements give a 2.3dB midrange response span and a -3dB point around 56Hz. Scores of 5.54 standalone and 7.79 with an ideal subwoofer indicate solid tonal accuracy, while deeper bass than the 8320A helps without a sub. GLM calibration, the waveguide and rounded aluminum enclosure make it a practical compact studio system. Measured bass extension of 55.7Hz (-3dB).
Cons: The listening-window response has more local variation than the 8030C or KH80 in the selected measurements, so DSP capability should not be mistaken for superior native neutrality. GLM calibration hardware costs extra. Small-driver bass headroom remains finite, and neither the modeled ideal-subwoofer score nor the fitted bass Q establishes maximum output or freedom from resonances.

Ranked #8 of 68 in Medium Size Powered Bookshelf Speakers - Genelec 8320A: $1,700 per pair B&H Photo Video eBay
Pros: A measured 1.6dB span from 300Hz to 5kHz and preference scores of 5.52 standalone and 8.04 with an ideal subwoofer support accurate close-range monitoring. The waveguide helps control the balance between direct and reflected sound. GLM room calibration is useful for matching levels and placement in a compact setup. Measured bass extension of 67.4Hz (-3dB).
Cons: The -3dB point is about 67Hz, making a subwoofer important for lower bass and giving the larger 8330A a practical advantage without one. Calibration hardware is sold separately. The small woofer limits its intended listening distance and bass output; a favorable response-fit parameter is not evidence that it has uniquely well-damped bass or unusually high headroom.

Ranked #11 of 68 in Medium Size Powered Bookshelf Speakers - Genelec 8020D: $1,390 per pair B&H Photo Video eBay
Pros: A compact waveguided monitor with balanced XLR input and placement filters, well suited to a small studio desk. Klippel measurements show a flat, well-behaved on-axis response from about 60Hz to 10kHz, with listening-window and early-reflection curves tracking closely, a sign of well-controlled directivity. Measured bass extension of 56Hz (-3dB).
Cons: Small size limits deep-bass reach and headroom. It lacks the GLM calibration of the SAM models, and the price is substantial for a compact analog-input monitor. Sound power starts rolling off around 500Hz to 1kHz as the small drivers begin to beam.

Ranked #16 of 68 in Medium Size Powered Bookshelf Speakers - Genelec G Two: $1,390 per pair B&H Photo Video eBay
Pros: A compact die-cast aluminum speaker built on the same drivers and waveguide as Genelec’s 8020 studio monitor, and it plugs straight into consumer gear through an RCA input. Spinorama measurements show the listening-window response holding within a 2.7dB span from 300Hz to 5kHz, and a smooth predicted in-room response (0.79 smoothness), so voices and instruments sound natural rather than colored. With a subwoofer, its measured preference score rises to 7.64. Rear tone switches let you adjust the bass and treble for desk or wall placement. Measured bass extension of 54Hz (-3dB).
Cons: Bass reaches only about 54Hz (-3dB) and fades by about 48Hz (-10dB), so it needs a subwoofer for full-range music or movies. On-axis response is less even than Genelec’s larger monitors (0.42 narrow-band deviation versus 0.23 for the 8030C), and its preference score without a sub is a modest 5.26. Output tops out around 100dB short-term, and there is no balanced XLR input or GLM room calibration like the studio models.

Large Size Powered Bookshelf Speakers
Ranked #4 of 68 in Large Size Powered Bookshelf Speakers - Genelec 8351B: $9150 per pair B&H Photo Video eBay
Pros: The vertical ASR measurement scores 7.75 with an ideal subwoofer and reaches 35.2Hz at -3dB. Coaxial midrange and treble help maintain consistent sound as the listening angle changes. Low measured distortion at ordinary listening levels and GLM calibration make it a strong precision-monitoring choice. Measured bass extension of 33Hz (-3dB).
Cons: Bass distortion increases at higher playback levels, so a subwoofer remains useful for demanding material. Upper-treble distortion in the test also cautions against assuming unlimited output. Calibration hardware adds to an already expensive system, and the quoted result is for the measured vertical orientation.

Ranked #6 of 68 in Large Size Powered Bookshelf Speakers - Genelec 8361A: $10900 per pair B&H Photo Video eBay
Pros: The coaxial design combines consistent imaging with substantial output capability. ASR measured a 1.8dB response span from 300Hz to 5kHz, 33.7Hz -3dB extension and a 8.08 ideal-subwoofer score. Low distortion and restrained compression support its use at greater distances than smaller nearfield monitors. Woofers above and below the coaxial driver give nearly identical vertical response whether you sit or stand. Measured bass extension of 34Hz (-3dB).
Cons: Its larger size buys headroom, not uniformly better tonality than the smaller Ones models. Some lower-midrange unevenness remains, and listening angle can affect perceived treble balance. The cabinets are very heavy and expensive; GLM setup and suitable stands need to be budgeted separately.

Ranked #7 of 68 in Large Size Powered Bookshelf Speakers - Genelec 8341A: $6590 per pair B&H Photo Video eBay
Pros: An 8.52 ideal-subwoofer preference score and 1.2dB response span from 300Hz to 5kHz place the measured vertical configuration among the strongest tonal performers here. Coaxial radiation and GLM support precise nearfield imaging and room integration. Measured bass extension of 47.6Hz (-3dB).
Cons: Measured -3dB extension is 47.6Hz, so the larger 8351B and 8361A provide more useful low-end reach and headroom. The review found bass-output limitations at demanding levels. Its excellent ideal-subwoofer score should not be read as equivalent full-range output to those larger models.

Ranked #20 of 68 in Large Size Powered Bookshelf Speakers - Genelec S360: $9,550 per pair B&H Photo Video eBay
Pros: A strong choice when professional output capability and listening distance matter. The measured 2.0dB response span from 300Hz to 5kHz, 39.6Hz -3dB extension and 7.70 ideal-subwoofer score support balanced sound, while GLM provides room-integration tools. It is capable of peak output over 128dB. Measured bass extension of 39.6Hz (-3dB).
Cons: The substantial enclosure and installation requirements make it excessive for many desks. Its tonal measurements do not surpass the best smaller monitors simply because it can play louder. Deep-bass reproduction still benefits from a subwoofer, especially in high-output systems. The fitted bass-alignment Q of 1.16 suggests a mild bump near the port tuning rather than a clean rolloff.

Large Size Powered Bookshelf Speakers
Ranked #27 of 68 in Large Size Powered Bookshelf Speakers - Genelec 8050B: $3800 per pair Discontinued B&H Photo Video eBay
Newer model: the Genelec 8350A. It’s likely to perform similarly, though we don’t have measurements to confirm that yet. It uses the same cabinet and woofer size, adding GLM room calibration and an AES/EBU digital input.
Pros: Measured -3dB extension of 35.2Hz gives the 8050B deeper native bass than many similarly ranked monitors. The 6.49 ideal-subwoofer score supports broadly balanced listening, with a waveguide and analog boundary controls for practical studio placement. Measured bass extension of 35.2Hz (-3dB).
Cons: A 2.7dB response span from 300Hz to 5kHz and a dip around 2kHz keep it below the strongest tonal performers. Port-related response features and high-level distortion also warrant attention. Unlike the SAM models, it does not provide GLM room calibration. Discontinued.

Ranked #33 of 68 in Large Size Powered Bookshelf Speakers - Genelec 8040B: $2,790 per pair Discontinued B&H Photo Video eBay
Newer model: the Genelec 8340A. It’s likely to perform similarly, though we don’t have measurements to confirm that yet. It uses the same cabinet and woofer size, adding GLM room calibration and an AES/EBU digital input.
Pros: A compact professional monitor with balanced XLR input and analog room-adjustment controls. The manufacturer’s 41Hz limit is specified at -6dB, offering a useful reference for system planning without confusing it with a measured -3dB point.
Cons: It lacks GLM calibration and consumer streaming inputs. The balanced XLR connection may require an interface or controller for a typical desktop source. It is expensive. Discontinued.

Large Home Subwoofers (Over 75 lbs)
Ranked #84 of 109 in Large Home Subwoofers (Over 75 lbs) - Genelec 7071A: $4995 Discontinued eBay
Newer model: the Genelec 7380A. It’s likely to perform similarly, though we don’t have measurements to confirm that yet. It replaces the dual 12-inch design with a single 15-inch driver and adds GLM room calibration and an AES/EBU digital input.
Pros: Independent CEA-2010 testing records 106.6 dB at 20 Hz and 118.0 dB through 40-80 Hz. The ported, bottom enclosure with 2x 12” (305mm) driver has the headroom for demanding film bass in a large room.
Cons: The 754.9H x 802.9W x 490.0D mm cabinet and 81.0 kg mass make this a serious placement and moving commitment. Ported output does not solve room modes, so careful placement and calibration remain essential. Discontinued.

Ranked #103 of 109 in Large Home Subwoofers (Over 75 lbs) - Genelec 7070A: $4995 Discontinued eBay
Newer model: the Genelec 7370A. It’s likely to perform similarly, though we don’t have measurements to confirm that yet.
Pros: Independent CEA-2010 testing records 100.6 dB at 20 Hz and 112.0 dB through 40-80 Hz. The ported, bottom enclosure with 12” (305mm) driver delivers substantial upper-bass output for movie effects and music.
Cons: Deep-bass output is more limited than the strong 40-80 Hz result suggests, so it is not the right choice when the lowest movie effects are the priority. The 625.1H x 555.0W x 490.0D mm cabinet and 50.0 kg mass still require deliberate placement and calibration. Discontinued.

Newer or recently added Genelec models we track but haven’t ranked yet, because no measurements we can rank them on have been published. See speakers not yet ranked for how that works.
Not yet ranked - Genelec 1032C: $5,750 per pair B&H Photo Video eBay
Pros: A 10” woofer and 1” metal dome tweeter in a Directivity Control Waveguide, specified down to 33Hz at -6dB and 114dB short-term output, so it plays loud and deep without a subwoofer. GLM software measures your room and sets level, delay and EQ for each speaker automatically. 400W of amplification per speaker, with analog XLR and AES/EBU digital inputs.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared with ranked speakers. Its specified ±2.5dB window (40Hz to 20kHz) is looser than the ±1.5dB of Genelec’s 8300 series. At 17kg in a large MDF box it needs sturdy stands, GLM calibration needs the separately sold GLM kit, and there is no RCA input.

Older model: the Genelec 8040B (rated 4.3/5).
Pros: A 6.5” woofer and 0.75” metal dome tweeter behind Genelec’s Directivity Control Waveguide, in a die-cast aluminum cabinet, specified at ±1.5dB from 45Hz to 20kHz and down to 38Hz at -6dB. GLM software measures your room and sets level, delay and EQ for each speaker automatically. 300W of amplification per speaker gives 110dB short-term output, with analog XLR and AES/EBU digital inputs.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared with ranked speakers. GLM calibration needs the separately sold GLM kit, and there is no RCA input for consumer gear.

Not yet ranked, replaces Genelec 8050B - Genelec 8350A: $5,550 per pair B&H Photo Video eBay
Older model: the Genelec 8050B (rated 4.4/5).
Pros: An 8” woofer and 1” metal dome tweeter behind Genelec’s Directivity Control Waveguide, specified at ±1.5dB from 38Hz to 20kHz and down to 33Hz at -6dB, deep enough for most music without a subwoofer. GLM software measures your room and sets level, delay and EQ for each speaker automatically. 350W of amplification per speaker gives 112dB short-term output, with analog XLR and AES/EBU digital inputs.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared with ranked speakers. At 12.8kg and 452mm tall it needs solid stands, GLM calibration needs the separately sold GLM kit, and there is no RCA input for consumer gear.

Not yet ranked - Genelec 8380A: $20,500 per pair B&H Photo Video eBay
Pros: A 15” woofer with two front reflex ports reaches down to a specified 29Hz (-6dB), deep enough for full-range music without a subwoofer. The midrange and tweeter share one coaxial Minimum Diffraction driver, so the sound comes from a single point and stays consistent as you move around the listening position. Specified at 122dB maximum short-term output with 950W of built-in amplification per speaker, and ±1.5dB from 38Hz to 20kHz. GLM room calibration, an AES/EBU digital input and a fanless, silent amplifier are built in.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared with ranked speakers. At 810mm tall and 54kg per speaker it is a large midfield monitor that needs sturdy stands and a room big enough to sit several feet back. The GLM calibration kit is sold separately, and there is no RCA input for consumer gear.

Not yet ranked - Genelec 8381A: $64,000 per pair B&H Photo Video eBay
Pros: Genelec’s flagship main monitor: each speaker combines three 15” woofers, four 5” midrange drivers and a coaxial 5” midrange with 1” tweeter, specified at ±1.5dB from 20Hz to 35kHz, so it reaches the bottom of the audible range with no subwoofer. It is specified at 126dB short-term output from 5,426W of Class D amplification. GLM room calibration, analog XLR and AES/EBU digital inputs are included.
Cons: Only listening reviews have been published, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared with ranked speakers. Each speaker is 1.46m tall and weighs 162kg, and the amplifiers live in a separate 3U rack, so it only suits a large dedicated room.

Pros: A compact 6.5-inch (165mm) subwoofer with a 50W Class D amplifier, sized for small studios and desktop systems with Genelec’s smaller monitors. Genelec rates it at 33-85Hz within 3dB (30Hz at -6dB) and 100dB short-term maximum output. Stereo balanced XLR inputs and outputs with built-in bass management.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its output can’t be compared with ranked subwoofers. Its 100dB output and 85Hz upper limit suit small rooms only, and there is no GLM calibration, AES/EBU input or RCA input.

Not yet ranked, replaces Genelec 7050B - Genelec 7050C: $1,575 B&H Photo Video eBay
Older model: the Genelec 7050B (rated 2.7/5).
Pros: 8-inch (205mm) driver with a 130W Class D amplifier. Genelec rates it at 24-85Hz (-6dB) and 103dB maximum output, with 6 balanced XLR inputs and 5 outputs for bass management of a multichannel system.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its output can’t be compared with ranked subwoofers. There is no automatic room correction, and 103dB maximum output limits it to smaller rooms and nearfield studio use.

Not yet ranked - Genelec W371A: $10,795 B&H Photo Video eBay
Pros: A floor-standing woofer system that sits under Genelec’s 8341A, 8351B or 8361A coaxial monitors to make a full-range speaker. Front 14-inch (356mm) and rear 12-inch (305mm) woofers, each with 400W of Class D amplification, reach down to 23Hz at -6dB with 120dB short-term output, and three selectable modes steer bass directivity to suit the room. Analog XLR and AES/EBU inputs with GLM calibration.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its output can’t be compared with ranked subwoofers. It only works with Genelec’s The Ones monitors and is meant to be used in pairs, one under each speaker. Room calibration needs Genelec’s GLM kit or 9320A controller, sold separately.
