Genelec Speakers opinions

You should audition the Home Theater series in Genelec's offerings. They're voiced a little differently, more towards a listener of music than mastering or recording music.

I own the HT206B's and they are a mcuh better listener's speaker than the ATC's which I also own.

Stay away! I've been a recording engineer for 37 years and have used Genelecs sometimes. They are not nuetral or accurate. The middle is sucked out and they are hyped on the top and bottom ends. Anytime I have done a mix on these speakers the mix has not translated properly...NEVER. I'm not the only engineer who thinks so.

Efner,

Which model are you referring too that were so bad? I thought they have improved a lot recently...perhaps because they were losing market share to other monitors........the 8050 Active is apparently a pretty good nearfield.

What did or do you prefer to mix on?

I'm a film editor and I sit in on lots of mixes - Genelecs have improved in the last two years, but they are very far from neutral.
