has anyone compared genelecs to audio engine>?

 
 
I have seen a male RCA to female XLR cable available on Amazon for around $15.
 
Genelecs are about 5 times the price of Audio Engine's... anything. So, they better sound way better too.

speakers or monitors usually accept male XLRs not female.

I was surprised to see Genelecs too, since they're not typically used by non-musicians/audio pros. And yes, definitely try to position them properly, because it's a shame to see high quality reference monitors not performing at their best.
 

Yes , i agree with u , i must to postition them better....The only option i have is to position them close to wal lifting the left so as to be in the same horizontal line with the right....I know that it would be better to be in distance with the wall...In my own home i will try to buy their stands....

Current setup. Just got the speakers yesterday. Definitely need stands though. Any suggestions?

 

[Borgbox]

Make your own, it's really not that hard and will be a fraction of the cost. Some MDF and a couple of Auralex Mopads.

ThumperSD, what are those things that your speakers are sitting on top of?

I don't believe anyone replied, they are foam insulation pads for speakers, they pretty much stop vibrations travelling through the desk etc. Ruins bass in most cases, I find they help the accuracy of my A5's a LOT.

Also HS50M here.

I need to repaint the wall, sometime.

Those are Auralex isolation pads to prevent any unwanted vibration. Also works well as a stand.

Is high end audio equipment easy to find in Saigon?

 

[thuantran]

Well, as everywhere else, money is the problem not the place.

Unless I suddenly start hearing something euphoric and blissful in my relatives Martin Logans or the Focal Scala Utopias (which I both didn't like), I'm going to give Hi-Fi a rest for a second..

It's just that googling for the next thing to spend on and finding just positive glorifying reviews of stuff like uDAC-2 which actually turns out to be crap is really confusing.. Going through some major existential despair right now

I hate how that amp sits on the desk taking all the space, but the sound is quite enjoyable. Good enough for a bitter guy who doesn't believe in Santa.

Funny this - the speakers are NOT EMI shielded - so the speakers cut out every once in a while...and yet the provide cables so damn short that you have to keep it close to your rig....
