Short answer: the Neumann KH 310 A has been measured and ranked; the Genelec 8350A has not been measured in a way we can rank yet, so until it is, this comes down to features and price.
What the Genelec 8350A offers: 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.
On the Neumann KH 310 A side: The sealed three-way design combines 35.2Hz measured -3dB extension with low distortion in the review’s demanding playback tests.
Price: the Genelec 8350A lists at $5,550 and the Neumann KH 310 A at $4,998.
Buy the Neumann KH 310 A if you want a speaker whose sound quality has been measured and ranked.
Buy the Genelec 8350A if you prefer its design or features, and you can wait for measurements to confirm how it sounds.

The Two Speakers In Full
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.

Neumann KH 310 A: $4,998 per pair B&H Photo Video eBay
Pros: The sealed three-way design combines 35.2Hz measured -3dB extension with low distortion in the review’s demanding playback tests. Its 2.2dB response span from 300Hz to 5kHz and 7.70 ideal-subwoofer score support balanced monitoring with useful full-range capability. Measured bass extension of 35.2Hz (-3dB).
Cons: Its measured tonal balance is not as even as the KH 150 or the best coaxial alternatives. Correct orientation and listening height matter for the separated drivers. The analog system lacks the integrated calibration workflow of newer DSP models, so room correction requires additional equipment. An unexplained dip around 80Hz shows in the measurements.
