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
