#65 Genelec G Four: $2,790 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 Five (larger bookshelf, ranked higher, estimated 4.3/5).

Pros: A home speaker built on the drivers and waveguide of Genelec’s 8040 studio monitor: a 6.5” woofer and 0.75” metal-dome tweeter in a die-cast aluminum cabinet, each with its own 90W amplifier. Bass reaches 48Hz (±2.5dB) and 41Hz (-6dB), and it plays to 105dB short-term, enough to fill a medium living room without a subwoofer. RCA and balanced XLR inputs and rear tone switches handle consumer and pro sources and different placements.

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 8040B it is based on. There is no GLM room calibration or digital input, and at nearly 10kg each it needs sturdy stands or shelves.
