Older model: the Genelec 8050B (ranked lower, rated 4.4/5). See every Genelec 8000 and 8300 Series generation.
Same family: the Genelec 8320A (smaller bookshelf, rated 4.5/5), the Genelec 8330A (smaller bookshelf, rated 4.5/5) and the Genelec 8340A (smaller bookshelf, ranked lower, estimated 4.4/5).
Pros: An 8 inch studio monitor with bass deep enough for most music, plenty of output, and automatic room calibration. 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.
