In case someone is looking for very small speakers, the Genelec 8010 are superb..
will use them for traveling ...and damn, I'm really impressed with what comes out of these tiny things...
You have some expensive tastes, no?
I did a quickily look on the interwebs, and they are $350 for each speaker, and I am not sure if that includes a power supply. There was a package deal of two speakers and a woofer that described connectors, but did NOT include any pictures or description of cables.
Are we in a world without any cables? have I been sleeping too much? or are they just leaving these kinds of "unnecessary" details out of the product descriptions?
Do you travel with one or two? How do they hook up? with bluetooth? They look like they require an XLR cable from computer to speaker and then XLR cable between speakers, no?
The dimensions are approximately 7"x 4" x 5" or 181mm x 121mm x 115mm.
None of the pictures or adverts that I saw showed any cables at all even though the back of the speakers show connection inputs for cables, but no actual cables.. The inputs are for a mains cable and an audio signal cable (XLR I believe), but these things must run off air, no? No wonder they cost so much.
True... they are def. not cheap.
But I think they are worth it, if you appreciate high sound quality and longevity.
Genelecs are made in Finnland and are real work horses. They can be used for 15 years or more.
Add the nice sound quality to the calculation and the price is not really expensive.
They are almost indestructible, so you could also go for used ones any day, without having to worry too much.
The power cables are detachable, but you certainly need them to power the speakers. I don't know why they don't show on the pics.
Regarding audio input: There are two versions, the 8010 has XLR, and the G One has RCA inputs.
In case of the 8010 you can buy a standard mini-jack to XLR cable, so no problem connection-wise.
Bigger (new) Genelecs also have digital inputs (AES/EBU). And since their amps are digital too, you can have a full digital path way.
In case you have the chance, try them. You might be amazed how good these tiny eggs sound.
...I travel with two btw
These might sound like dumb questions, even though I do appreciate having decently sounding speakers.. and sure for travel, I appreciate portability too.. and it might be worth the opportunity costs from buying more Cornz (a trade off) to get something like those speakers (I had been considering changing my travel speakers ).. So, if those speakers have good chances of bringing me a reasonable amount of additional pleasures, joy and various other tingilies, then spending the extra value (instead of buying dee cornz) may be acceptable for me...
You answered quite a few of my questions, but I am still unclear about the power and the hook up for two speakers. So if you are traveling with a computer as your sound source (I suppose you could have a phone or some other device as your sound source, too), then you would have one minijack to XLR cable from your computer (audio source) to one of the speakers and then the other speaker would have an XLR to XLR cable.
I am presuming that you only need a power cable going to one of the two speakers? and how does your computer know the difference between right and left?
Wow... "BitcoinTINA" sold the "majority" of his BTC.
Link or it did not happen.
Sometimes I get some of these famous bitcoin peeps mixed up, and I know that Bitcoin TINA is a pretty smart guy in the realm of Macro and financial factors as they relate to bitcoin and bitcoin's investment thesis and had been very bullish on bitcoin.
I thought that at one point, he was ONE of those guys who was a bit extreme in his bitcoin allocations... but I cannot recall - and I do know that sometimes he has controversial takes and previously he has been a bit dogmatic in the way he talks about position sizes (he has strong opinions and not afraid to argue them and back them up.. but does not mean that he is going to be right.. .. so I suppose there are needs for links and getting refreshed on what's going on with BitcoinTINA (and his recent attention about his bitcoin allocation).
In the past 2-3 years (and maybe even more), I definitely had heard him as a guest on quite a few podcasts, but not very much in the past several months... so he would not have struck me as someone who would sell much if any BTC at these kinds of seemingly low prices.. or that he would have been scared by current macro-factors.. Maybe he had been using leverage and got himself into a pickle, so in that regard, he had gotten forced into such sales of too many BTC at what seems to be the wrong time.. otherwise it hardly makes any sense that he would be selling around these prices, based on what I remember about the guy... unless he sold back in May or June or earlier.. and then it might make sense.. perhaps?
Need more info.
Edit: https://twitter.com/BitcoinTina/status/1571241578559164417I guess I found something like the information myself... and there is a need for a context.. which I think that it is a bit more nuanced than selling a majority of his BTC.. and I am still a bit unclear about specifics.. ..
But this tweet gives some context:
>>>>2/ I hold less than a majorit of my portfolio in #bitcoin. i.e.less than 50%, yet the position given my age and work status is still very high.
I would not have survived a drawdown to 5K BTC (not a prediction) and that was an unacceptable position.<<<<<
Wow... "BitcoinTINA" sold the "majority" of his BTC.
that is the guy who thought we would hit 500k-700k in 2022 , and 1mil-1.5mil in 2023
I'm not really shocked that it's always these kind of stupid uber bulls, who sell near the bottom..
they chicken out as soon as the boat gets rocked a bit... fkn wimps
Agree. Though... I imagine, without reading ahead... that he justifies it with his age... which, honestly/? Is not invalid.
My memory is coming back.. I do recall that he was over invested, and he had made some other sales on the way down too.. so this latest news seems to be additional sales on the way down.
