I have a pair of Genelec 8020s on loan from a local dealer and they totally rock! Here in Sweden they are $1000 a pair but if you have the opportunity I would at least try to audition a pair before you decide. Should you go for the Genelecs you might want to look at the 6020 which is the same as the 8020 but with auto-power and balanced as well as unbalanced connectors. -- bergek Transporter - Squeezebox 3 - Serener GS-L02 - Via EPIA SP8000 - Ubuntu 6.06 Server ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bergek's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7805 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33546 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
