And as expected after that, playing the CD of Telarc’s Mussorgsky: Pictures At An Exhibition, Night On Bald Mountain, Prelude To Khovanshchina (Paavo Järvi & Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra) sounded as good as I could have hoped for; delicate passages came through without incident and nothing was being overwhelmed by the bass. There’s plenty of power, forget about what the specs say, but more importantly these little guys put out a real depth and an impressive soundstage that is dead clean. I even tried playing some B-52’s off of my iPod and for damn sure this is how you want to be listening to techno-beats! So yeh, I guess it’s fair to say that the cast-aluminum enclosure, optimization of the air flow, active crossover filters, automatic protective circuitry and other enhancements all add up to this not being your usual plastic squeaky PC speaker. And at nearly $400, that’s only right. Also, I’d agree (with some reservations) that the 6010A could be considered “portable”, but in that case I’d want to have the white, not black finish.
Genelec includes pretty much all the cables you’ll need, and for once a quick start up guide really does just that - although tweaker-heads won’t feel left out. At the end of the day, these speakers are overkill for those who only use their computers for serious office stuff, but if your PC is GHQ for gaming, listening to music and operating in general as your secondary home theater, then boy does Genelec have a loudspeaker for you.
