Genelec SAM active studio monitors for home use


https://www.genelec.com/studio-monitors/sam-coaxial-studio-monitors

Wondering if anyone has experience with Genelec SAM monitors in their home. They are meant for near field listening, but I wonder if they can fill a room if seated 8-10 feet away. These speakers have room correction and coaxial design. On paper it seem very promising. Please share any first hand experience. Not looking for opinions, but first hand demos in store or feedback from owners. 

My last post on this forum was a disaster. Giving it another try. Mentioning it just in case the same trolls strike again.

I’m running a set of the 8341’s on my desk and couldn’t be happier.  The SAM functionality works well (took a lot of the mid mud out for my room).  As others have said, they are honest monitors...crap in, crap out.  One thing that impressed me the most was the amount of solid, tight bass they put out.
@gosta  Imaging is very good (if not excellent).  I upgraded from the Focal SoloBe6 nearfields and there was a significant improvement across all criteria, especially with SAM enabled.  The Genelec’s aren’t cheap...but they are worth the price.
