#58 Genelec G Five: $4,390 per pair Estimated B&H Photo Video eBay
Same family: the Genelec G One (smaller bookshelf, estimated 4.4/5), the Genelec G Two (smaller bookshelf, rated 4.3/5), the Genelec G Three (smaller bookshelf, estimated 4.5/5) and the Genelec G Four (smaller bookshelf, ranked lower, estimated 4.2/5).
Pros: The largest G Series home speaker, based on Genelec’s 8050 studio monitor: an 8” woofer and 1” metal-dome tweeter on a Directivity Control Waveguide, with 150W for bass and 120W for treble. Bass reaches 38Hz (±2.5dB) and 32Hz (-6dB), deep enough for full-range music without a subwoofer, and it plays to 110dB short-term for large rooms. RCA and balanced XLR inputs and rear tone switches are included.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared directly with measured speakers; the rating is estimated from the measured 8050B it is based on. It is large and heavy at 14.4kg each, there is no GLM room calibration, and it is a special-order item at some retailers.
