I have used a Meridian/Mackie 626/624 system very successfully for the last six years but an impending move to another house has forced me to look for smaller speakers.
I've sold the 586 and Mackies and am starting again from scratch. I'm even considering a lifestyle system (Monitor Audio Apex).
The thing is, I keep getting drawn to the Genelec 8020Bs. I generally prefer the Genelecs to the Mackies but I am concerned about the listening distances as Genelec state that their optimal zone only extends to 2 metres, which is fine for near field monitoring, of course.
Has anyone used 8020's for home cinema? As I would be about 4 metres away from the LCRs would their near field designs be a problem?
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks
