I really dont know why people can find the genelecs harsh or tinny? I found them to be some of the best monitors i have ever worked with. I have spent hours in a studio with a set of Genelec 1032A and experianced hardly any ear fatigue, and those babies can pack some serious punch. I have worked with some ADAM's, and i found them to be very good too, but i thought the spacial acuracy not to be as good as the genelecs.
