wondering if the concern about the bottom and top slot/vent areas and placement on a large flat surface area would be remedied by placing the genelec on its side, allowing for there to be no obstruction of the slot/vent areas. From what i've read, due to this type of speaker design, putting it on its side wouldn't really affect its sound otherwise.
Base frequencies radiate omnidirectionally, meaning in all directions. It almost doesn't matter where the port or the woofers are placed on the speaker. An 80hz sound for example has a wavelength of more than for metres, these waves wrap around the entire speaker (almost) regardless of the woofer or port position.
Actually it does, even if low frequencies are omnidirectional, the intensity decrease as you move away from the drivers or the port. You can verify on erin corner pages, for some examples with front and rear ports.
Nice video. I have a question, I am planning to buy a pair of Genelec 8030 C for my studio. So can you share your opinions and guide me regarding that?
I think boominess on a desk or near a wall is common for bass with all speakers, since bass disperses omnidirectionally, though I could see a desk or lip on a speaker stand affecting them like it affects a Devialet phantom reactor, though I'd be a bit more surprised since the Genelec seems like it would have narrower dispersion that wouldn't be affected as much. Did you change any of the GLM software settings to make a bass tilt? Might get more of what you like with Dirac. Makes the bass sound relatively higher when you have the treble tilted down.
Wouldn’t all speakers sound boomy on the same desk? Also, sub bass/deep bass are for the most part omnidirectional, so why would it really matter where the ports are? Or are you mainly referring to the lower mids/upper bass response? Thank you for an informative video!
Pure unreflected bass frequencies are reasonably omnidirectional, but when you pair them with a reflected tone the results are completely different, unless they are in phase - but to do so requires more and more distance, the lower you go.
@@hemantishwaran5741 that absolutely not true, M126BE is like $3K MSRP (you can get them much cheaper) and an great amp costs $1K which is still cheaper than those Genelecs. the amps in these active speakers is usually not as of high quality as separate amps, which is fine since amps don't matter past certain SINAD and power requirement.
Do you think the speakers in the picture are the same size relative to each other? And the most important question regarding the tests is WHY IS IT NOT LIKE THIS? Fraud is already unforgivable from the very beginning!!!
These aren’t just for nearfield. They sound spectacular in a medium sized living room.

Thank you for the review! Not too much you can find on this line

Very informative review with some graphs and data. Good job. Thanks.
The recent glm 4.1 update redid the adjustment algorithim that can leave more of those mids in
Isn't there a dip switch for desktop installation that take away the boomyness?

the front ported bass issue - it’s not really an issue
Aren’t the Kef R1 like 5,000?
$9k

Yeah but those revels are so much cheaper..
Not if you add in the cost of a high quality amp (and possibly pre-amp) needed for the revels
