Will these do OK at a distance of 3 to 4 meters from the speakers? Want to use it in a medium size bedroom.
Asked by: Shashank
Thanks. That page doesn’t speak about the distance between speakers and listener — just between speakers and walls, and angles among all the three. For this price the info should be more accurate: at what distance from the speakers does the quality fall off? There are reviewers who say they attach these speakers to TVs in their living rooms. Are they in such tiny rooms that their TV is 2 meters away from them? I doubt it. This is the info I need: would 4 meters be too much for these speakers costing thousands? 5 meters? What’s the number?

question

The price is for two monitors?
Asked by: Adir D.
Genelecs are always priced singly; multiply the price by two if you want a pair. If you've never heard Genelec monitors, then you probably will think they're overpriced. But if you have discerning ears, and you do an A-B comparison between any Genelec and any other monitor of equivalent size, you will immediately hear the difference...and it's not subtle; it's not merely obvious, it's startling. Put another way, if you CAN'T hear the difference, you don't need to be spending money on Genelecs. Buy something cheaper. But if you want the best audio monitors in the world, nothing else even comes close.
