I have always found the Genelecs to sound "phasey" due to the "wave guide" contour of the cabinet around the tweeter. If you never move your head, they sound fine, but if you do move the sound changes a lot which I find very distracting. I consider this a defect, but of course the company touts it as a feature ;-) Doug > Date: Wed, 6 Jun 2012 18:57:09 +0000 > From: "Grant, Tyra" <[log in to unmask]> > Subject: Seeking studio monitor comments > > Greetings, > We're evaluating studio monitors for our small (14'x14') audio > room---with = > workstation close-to being against a wall.
