I upgraded from Mackie HR 824 Mk IIs which i had for over a decade. The Mackies were a great monitor but these are better. Clearer basses, and more crisp and defined mids + highs. plus they look like sonic death weapons which adds at least 17% more BADASS to your studio.
To use a visual metaphor, imagine your sound as an image and the Genelecs allow me to look at the image with increased focus and things feel sharper by about 15%.. very happy.
