Zeer mooie studio monitoren van genelec. Betreft type 8020a , dus nog met klasse ab versterking dat wat organischer/warmer klinkt dan de nieuwere versie met klasse d versterking. Inclusief twee stroom
Against your recent EUR comps, €500 sits a bit above the 75th percentile of €509? Actually, it is just under that ceiling but clearly above the median €356 and well above the 25th percentile €204, so this is an ambitious but not absurd ask rather than a bargain. It is not priced as a steal; if you buy at €500, you’re paying for convenience or presentation more than for a discount.
That said, the 8020A is a respected nearfield: compact, accurate, and easy to place, with the kind of clean monitoring sound that still makes sense for desktop or small-room use. If the pair is genuinely tidy and fully working, the upside is that you get a proven Genelec active monitor with strong resale stability; just make sure both units are quiet, balanced, and free of hiss, driver damage, or amp issues before paying at the top end.
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.
