Lilith, I have the feeling this thread is only getting started!!!
I have never heard owned or used Genelec so i can speak re them.
However , with that said, i wouldnt write a product off just cause its made in China.
SE Mics for example are made in china but they are a FANTASTIC product especially the 2000A model (€100 on thomann.)
Any engineer not paying serious attention to these low budget / high grade mics, needs there head seen to because in ten years this company will be where Neumann are now, make no mistake.
My 2 cents, GET EM WHILE THEY ARE STILL 100 BUCKS!!!
I wouldnt swap my SE2000 A for anything.
With regard to the animosity on this thread, and the lack of people joining in with threads on this site,
I commented earlier on it being a waste of hosting space (this thread) and i meant it literally.
This site is an amazing resource, I cant stress that enough.and the people on the forum experts in their feild.
Without it i would dread to think of what my now lovely studio would look and sound like.
No offense meant, but it (the site) and its members deal with a pretty narrowly focused subject.
Most rightminded folk dont even know what Genelec Monitors are remember, never mind a Neumann (a name we all take for granted) or discussion of the finer points of rfz,s for example
Theres not a lot of info online about this subject and the people here tend to be quite involved in projects and under A LOT of pressure, It makes sense therefore to keep this site free of silly threads so the members can dedicate there time to helping other folk in the same boat.
For what its worth, as soon as you start asking interesting / relevant questions you will find plenty of help here even with the most leftfield benign stuff. like roofing details etc..
So folks im sure we all got better things to do than get personal. Lets nice up the place a bit eh!
An eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind.
