Selected for listening / monitoring in a home studio.

SOUNDS

Good, The Genelec is a bit flattering (especially in the low, perfectly round) and will be less straight than Yamaha, but what a sound! Even if I find the treble a little less accurate than the legendary 1030A, the warmth and roundness of the bass is superb, especially compared to the congestion.
The side finishing cast is convenient because less fragile than 1030A.

OVERALL OPINION

I use since 2005 and before making my choice, I listened a lot ... (For the record, in fact, they were not at all in my budget: I had so readily dismissed ... But when listening, the seller got the wrong switch and my piece of test came out on the Genelec .... not then after hearing them, falling in the lower price range ... I got a credit, but I am left with my Genelec).

If I were doing? I do it again! (I even bought from the 6010A, for mobile use)
