    Yeah there is a shop out here which has a MASSIVE set of genelecs in it. Dance Music Records in Shibuya.

    The sound is very solid but they feel so angular that the sound hurts. Great for monitoring I guess, but I have no ****ing idea why they have them in a record shop. I cant imagine working there! Migraine city.

    You should ask the guys at the shop if you can take the speakers home to test in your studio(or whereever) put down a deposit if need be. They should be used to people not being able to judge quality in shop and should have some system worked out - just say your a pro and qulaity is important. IF your cheeky try and take home a few at a time in different price ranges.
    Also you want to choose a speaker that doesnt only sound good but also displays mistakes well (ie doesnt still sound good with shit playing through them) otherwise youll likely have problems.

    Check for these too, as was recommended them myself, though you'll need a nice amp

    Solitary by nature.
    Isolation is the gift.
    Does anyone have courage to stand apart any more?

    damn, yesterday I was at the NAMM show and heard the Adam A7's, those were really f***** nice!! I saw in shops they run about $1000 for a pair, anyone have experience with those??

    I actually got to hear both the Adam A7's and the Dynaudio's, both sounded amazing, and run about the same price, any suggestions? thanks
