Very cool, right? Seems like there's a couple good active speakers like these. Namely Kii Three, KEF LS50W and Stereo Devialet Phantom Golds.
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 agree; very cool, especially the hidden bass baffle. I am very curious to listen to these; my only experience with active monitors is with ADAM Audio, which I thought are quite astonishing for their size. I really like their tweeter a lot, but that's probably because I own a pair of Dali Euphonia MS5’s with a similar albeit hybrid tweeter. Just my cup of tea. But, back to Genelec; I found this: https://www.musictech.net/2017/11/genelec-the-ones-review/ |
those are super high quality speakers, but based on my own experiences with JBL LSR 305 - an admittedly lesser speaker with corresponding lower price - i would not ask a near-field to do room filling duty.... get something bigger.... you lose the detail, the timber and texture when you put these near-field monitors into a bigger space.... the sweet spot really is closer to your ears... |
