Against 76 recent comparable listings, the median is €585, with the middle 50% spanning €383–€1,134. At €750, this Genelec 8340 sits above the median but well below the 75th percentile: fair rather than a bargain, assuming it is a single monitor in genuinely good condition.
The 8340 is a serious compact active monitor, combining powerful Class-D amplification with unusually capable DSP and GLM room calibration; its balanced analogue and AES/EBU inputs make it versatile in a proper studio or hi-fi system. It offers clean, controlled output and useful bass extension for its size. The main value check is whether the GLM calibration hardware, Iso-Pod and original packaging are included—GLM software is free, but the calibration kit or controller is normally separate. With clear photos and a clean functional test, €750 is defensible.
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.
