Genelec SAM active studio monitors for home use


https://www.genelec.com/studio-monitors/sam-coaxial-studio-monitors

Wondering if anyone has experience with Genelec SAM monitors in their home. They are meant for near field listening, but I wonder if they can fill a room if seated 8-10 feet away. These speakers have room correction and coaxial design. On paper it seem very promising. Please share any first hand experience. Not looking for opinions, but first hand demos in store or feedback from owners. 

My last post on this forum was a disaster. Giving it another try. Mentioning it just in case the same trolls strike again.

very good to hear. how do you find their imaging capability since they are what audiophiles tend to appreciate - a point source (with power and bass capacity).

A lot of nearfield monitors do have more limited dispersion but if you look at the Genelec The Ones lineup like the 8351 you can see the dispersion of the system is better than even passive home theater speakers with coaxial drivers like Kefs.

These speakers should have no issues at all for even home theater use.
@gosta   what transport are you using to feed the Gennis?. A DDC with AES or some DAC?.

Don't have theGen 8341 yet. On top of my try list when I return home in a couple of weeks. For my final near-field setup... Do have e.g the JBL LSR 4326/4328/4312sp with AES input so interested in that. Aldo thought of buying the small Neumann KH80 with AES input. Is there maybe a streamer with AES output to find or do you need some pro studio DDC inbetween?The Gen 8351 model now seems to be able to find for the same cash as the 8341. Would they be too large for near-field? Like 2-4 feet listening distance.
