This is a strong deal if it’s complete and working properly. A pair of used 1037Cs has shown up around US$1,170 on the market, and comparable used listings for this model typically land well above that, so US$1,100 looks attractively priced rather than ambitious.
That price makes sense because the 1037C is a seriously respected older Genelec: a 2004–2015 three-way active monitor with big-driver authority, high output, and the kind of controlled, revealing presentation that still holds up for both studio and hi-fi use. The upside is real if the pair is clean, original, and includes the right cables or stands; the main thing to verify is that all drivers and amps are quiet and healthy, since age-related service history matters more here than on a modern speaker.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Genelec Oy traces its roots to 1978 in the small Finnish town of Iisalmi, where engineers Ilpo Martikainen and Topi Partanen co-founded the company. It began with a 1976 commission from the Finnish Broadcasting Corporation to design active studio monitors for their Helsinki headquarters, leading to the flagship S30 model—a pioneering speaker with advanced amplification, driver protection, and a proprietary ribbon tweeter that set new benchmarks in precision audio.
The brand specializes in active loudspeaker systems, focusing on professional studio monitors for recording, mixing, mastering, broadcast, and film production. Genelec's portfolio emphasizes nearfield, midfield, and main monitors, often enhanced by innovations like Smart Active Monitoring (SAM), Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM) software for room calibration, and immersive audio solutions. While primarily pro-oriented, their products appeal to discerning home audiophiles seeking uncolored, adaptable sound reproduction.
Genelec holds a commanding position as a high-end leader in professional audio monitoring, renowned for Finnish engineering excellence, technological firsts, and unwavering neutrality. Over four decades, it has equipped the world's top studios, earning a reputation for reliability, innovation, and sustainable design that discerning hi-fi buyers trust for truthful sound without compromise.
