Older models: the Genelec 1032B (ranked lower, estimated 4.4/5) and the Genelec 1032A (ranked lower, rated 4.4/5). See every Genelec 1032 generation.
Pros: A powerful 10 inch studio monitor that plays loud and deep without a subwoofer, with automatic room calibration and digital input. 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.
