Genelec SAM active studio monitors for home use

@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.

@rohanstevens 
you only need a streamer with AES/EBU output to feed the Gen. Like the proposed above. DAC is built in. The same for a lot of other moderna pro monitors. The Elac has roon capacity. Or did you mean something else?

Hi Gosta. Sorry I should have been clearer. I was asking more broadly for active speakers with optical inputs. I don't have an AES input. Yes, no DAC is needed, which makes looking for good network streamers harder to find that include Roon. I am currently using Chromecast Audio and it drops/cuts out audio with  96 khz files despite having mine rigged to ethernet. Apparently it's a software issue with CCA. Which means I can't connect a CCA as a Roon endpoint. So I need Roon built in.

To Cortes:
My pair of Revel M126Be are breaking in now, currently with about 150 hours of music. You mention a 20 Watt amp, and I have a 12 Watt Valvet E2 which has enough power for about 90% of my listening. I am also breaking in the speakers with a new Wyred 4 Sound ST-750LE which uses the newest IceEdge chipset.

Audio components need to have two attributes: ultimate resolution and linearity in that resolution from bass to treble. The Revels seem to have both. Check 'em out.

Happy listening!

Have listened to the smaller Genelecs 8331 for an hour at a dealer (listening room) with the room correction active and at a distance of 1,30 meter.
They are a little more hifi-ish than I expected. Warm sound, tries to play more bass than they should which means the red light comes on before you want it to. Detailed sure, but did not hear the ultimate resolution I was hoping for (maybe due to too much bass overpowering the mids). Will remove them from my wish list because for this money you want to immediately feel that they are a must. I'm looking for a more pro sound and so far much prefer my active Unity Audio Boulders mk2. They are monsters - a little big though. I'm sure the 8341 is a better buy. Just my humble and perhaps much too quick opinion.
