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 very interested in experiences from audiophiles with these genelecs. Particularly in their capability to convey the tone of the instruments, and how they perform with female voices. I want to upgrade my Proac 1sc+Valve amp (20W class A) for near field listening, and I don't find anything at 5-6k this the level of engineering of these Genelecs. On the passive models, I'm considering as well the Revel M126Be.

I owned some Genelec 8020, which were terrible at low volume levels, and because of that I replaced them for the Proac 1Sc. However these 8331/8341/8351 seem to be in another league. 


“...wow one of them is 111db efficiency.”

I think that dB number refers to how loud they can be played not efficiency or sensitivity. Those metrics are somewhat moot as the speakers are active.
Here’s some information about their in-room performance.

Well, with qualified pro monitors you get the truth, For me that's not boring. Be prepared that some of your favourites will not sound as nice as before. But the good ones will sound even better. That includes female voices :-) Generally I don't find active speakers made for home listening that interesting. They actually tend to sound a bit boring. Like the active LS50.(which I got). Naturally also prospeakers differ. Some are made to reveal all too much of the mistakes in a mix. Those should be avoided for listening. They are a working tool. Geithain, Amphion, PMC, ATC are examples of other very well regarded pro brands. New brands to look for are Kii and Dutch & Dunn. 
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.

very good to hear. how do you find their imaging capability since they are what audiophiles tend to appreciate - a point source (with power and bass capacity).
