    Perhaps a bit more accurate to say these don't need a *third* subwoofer, considering that's one unit stacked on top of what can only be described as a subwoofer. Even though they come as a set. :) Looks like a great unit. Nowhere remotely in my price range, but seem like some fantastic speakers.

    Looks magnificent and I bet it sounds even better; if I ever win Mega-Millions I might just get a pair. I can only imagine what they cost - not inexpensive by any means...but worth it if you can afford it.
    I love Genelecs, they're definitely among the finest speakers on the market. But there's also no question that they definitely induce some pretty serious sticker shock. It's going to be pretty hard for any home studio enthusiast or audiophile to justify the cost of monitors like that. These are certain to be way out of the reach of that market.
    It's another matter if you have the disposable income of, say, Peter Gabriel - or if you're running a really busy commercial studio/ production facility...but even that isn't really a safe bet these days. It's been my experience with the management of various studios that it's getting a little difficult for even the biggest facilities to justify the purchase of gear that competes with the price of a new automobile on a per-unit basis. Unfortunately budgets are just not what they used to be.

    $64k for a pair? I believe Genelec created it as a flagship status - not to make a profit from it. For such a product, a higher price actually helps to distinguish it. And, a higher price deters consumers to buying it, which is what the company want. They won't make money on it anyway. So, the best course of action is to make a marketing opportunity, but sell as least unit as possible. More likely, Genelec produced about 50 pairs for various showroom and some unfortunate sale, but already closed the assembly line for it.

    • @genelec
      @genelec  9 місяців тому

      Price varies slightly country by country. For local pricing we recommend to contact closest Genelec dealer or distributor. The price you mention,, is closer to single unit than pair. 83813A has been just recently launched, and there is no plans to close it manufacturing anytime soon, the story has just began. Genelec products usually stays on production line for very long time! ☺ In example, if you would compare our earlier product 1036A, it was in production between 1997-2015, and only after that, it was updated and replaced with new 1236A model using the latest design, which is currently also available.

      The Quad Midrange System continues
      the controlled directivity of the Coaxial
      Driver in the DCW and maintains its
      capacity for high SPL. It reproduces lowmidrange audio from the same location
      as the Coaxial Driver to extend the point
      source further down in frequency
      Dome low-midrange drivers have been designed to minimize diffraction creation for coaxial midrange and tweeter radiation.
      Radiation pattern of the quad drivers is similar to ring radiator with same diameter as the driver spacing.

      @@genelec Yes, thank you. The focus of my curiosity is about controlling room modes in a small room. There are 2 established ways to do. Have you found a 3rd way, or are you using one of the established ways? With multiple low frequency sources spread around a room, you can use strong EQ adjustments to get a consistently flat response throughout a room. Or with low frequency sources close to each other, I have found that delays with minimal to no EQ is particularly effective. Or I suppose you can do a combination of the two.

It's the GLM system integrated into the amps that is special. And I'm sure they have patents to protect it. So what is left? Are they afraid of the public acceptance?

    • @genelec
      @genelec  Рік тому +1

      Two lowest crossover frequencies are chosen by the optimization algorithm. Goal is to dodge the problems caused by room acoustics (= dips in the frequency response). This is possible, because bottom and front woofer are in different location in the room, thus exciting the room in different way. This technology was introduced with W371.

    I’m using for near 40 years 1032A as front mains, 1031A as surrounds and a pair of 1094A subs. I obviously love the audio quality of the Genelec monitors. But flush mounting is by construction not an option here and it’s a shame in a way ! Flush mounting allows a 180° radiation and cancels a lot of issues for monitor placement… Not totally convinced that this new model will avoid most of these issues. IMHO

      Flush mounting is always good choice whenever possible. I hope you also can get a chance to listen to these speakers some day, once they come available to our dealers. 🙂
