Excellent Reference quiality monitors. These monitors faithfully reproduce every thing you are recording. Some people complain these monitors are not musical. That is a very subjective subject. I find these monitors to be very enjoyable to listen to. Never tiring on the ears. In conparison to Mackie HR824 I would have to say both are great monitors. Mackie does produce lower bass frequencies, however I feel the Genelecs bass is a little more accurate. If you record rap get the Mackies. For everything else you dont really need the low bass. Or get a sub. You may need to do a lot of reference checks with these monitors against a home stereo or boombox. The bass can be decieving.

I bought these used, so all I got were power cords. XLR input only so for those of you with only 1/4" line out you will need to make or buy XLR to 1/4" cables.

Both speakers sound great and match perfect. The guy who had mine scratched up the cabinets really bad, but the drivers and amps were mint so i bought em. Havent had any problems.

I paid $1100 which i think was too much considering these can be had used mint elsewhere for less. Oh well. They sound great. At something like $500 more for the genelecs I would probally have bought the Mackies, however if you can get a deal on the Genelecs go for it.

Havent had to deal with but im assuming they are good.

Beautiful sounding monitors. Never heard better nearfields. Very practical addition to a home/semi-pro recording studio.
