Hi Klaus,

I am in the process of upgrading my speakers, and while very much attracted to one particular dynamic model (Vivid Audio which I found extraordinarily satisfying) am also intrigued by the idea of powered studio monitors, not least based on thoughts along the line of your points above and also in your profile (HiFi with HiWAF...). But I have absolutely zero conception of how they might work or "sound" in a concrete home setup (I know, this is too vague and general as a problem, but let's suppose for a moment that we can talk of studio montitors as a separate entity given their different rationale and modus operandi).

Despite the fact that I come from where the Genelecs come from, too, at present I don't have any realistic way of arranging for listening sessions with models that I find intriguing, so I'd be keen to hear you talk more about your setup and how it works for you. I'm almost exclusively listening to classical orchestral music so my first-order considerations would probably include dynamism and LF reproduction in the case of monitor setups. I much appreciate your earlier posts and would be delighted to see more comments by you in this regard, too.

TIA if you have time & interest.

TL
