The low end is incredible for this size ridiculous. But that's neither deep nor refined. Neutral for me (I'm not without a low range of quality subwoofer)
Manufacturing is beautiful, the chamber is carved of solid aluminum, it's incredible. If you use a subwoofer is the slap, the sound is clear, spacious and refined. they do not vibrate at all.
They also sell a model with a non-EU aluminum finish hand-polished. This model costs twice as much and make you want to any thief to steal so you have to face. The model I have is black and it looks almost plastic from a distance. But it's solid aluminum, they weigh very heavily.

SOUNDS

The real dynamics is of professional quality. It's going to no background noise to a fortissimo that will make you deaf so they are dynamic (and some 1m). It is a strength for a universal speaker. It's perfect for me and my wallet.

The sound is particularly in relation to competition with a treble boosted irritating after a while. The Genelec transcribe great with a touch of funky bass and midrange chattoyant. And work hours is the foot because they do not tire at all I think.

OVERALL OPINION

Strengths:
Monitoring without ear fatigue with a beautiful sound to my taste, that is not aggressive with neutral medium. If you use a subwoofer and you want smaller near-field monitor, then these speakers are the best investment for pro results.
Cons:
Use a sub ...
Conclusion:
anyway, the speakers can go down to 25Hz are few below 3000 euros the pair ... So good ...
While it is true that this price it cost to have Genelec with Linkwitz Riley filters and sub that goes with ... All one, and that of a sub Genelec more we have a system that rips!
