Customer Review Summary
The Genelec 8320 AWM impresses with its compact size while delivering a surprisingly big sound. The build quality is undeniably solid, which sets a high standard right from the start.
Initially, when used without calibration, the soundstage and natural representation fell short compared to competitors. However, after a straightforward calibration process, the performance significantly improved, bringing it on par with other high-end monitors, although it still lacked in deep bass compared to some models.
Noteworthy features include the ability to create user profiles, a convenient desktop volume control, and included mounting feet for better placement. These attributes add to the overall appeal of the speakers.
Despite their clean aesthetic and excellent sound quality for their size, there were mixed experiences regarding the calibration process. While some found the sound to become sharper and more refined post-calibration, others reported issues, such as a harshness that turned to distortion.
Overall, the Genelec 8320 AWM is a compelling choice for those seeking quality monitors with versatile features, though potential buyers should consider the calibration experience and its impact on sound quality.
