DigiPete Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I needed a speaker based setup for an extended sailing trip in the Caribbean. What I ended up with is nothing short of breathtaking and "Out of the Box". My priorities: - Stellar sound quality - Low energy consumption - Low weight - Sturdy construction - 12V DC capable The 12V turned out to be the biggest challenge, so I just bit the bullit and got a small inverter. Final setup: - Genelec 8010 White active 2 x 25w class D and 1,5 kg each and adaptive voltage 100-230V AC - Dragonfly 1.2 USB stick DAC with analogue volume - 150w Inverter 12V DC -> 230V AC - Minijack -> XLR 3m cable Promise Pegasus2 R6 12TB -> Thunderbolt2 -> MacBook Pro M1 Pro -> Motu 8D -> AES/EBU -> Main: Genelec 5 x 8260A + 2 x 8250 + 2 x 8330 + 7271A sub Boat: Genelec 8010 + 5040 sub Hifiman Sundara, Sennheiser PXC 550 II Blog: “Confessions of a DigiPhile” Link to comment

I have their 8020 and very happy. They are not as accurate as ATC but very warm and beautifully polished sound. Great on acoustic material. I think their smaller designs are their best. Plenty of bass in a very small enclosure and play very loud too! Link to comment

Plenty of bass in a very small enclosure and play very loud too! Interesting. I think their larger designs are their best. The 8260 is especially hard to beat, even with no cost limit. The 8010 however provides insane performance at 3kg/13lbs (if weight is your restriction).

Kelly Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Damn I am jealous! Maybe a little because of the Genelecs, but a lot because of the sailing trip! Roon ->UltraRendu + CI Audio 7v LPS-> Kii Control -> Kii Three Roon->BMC UltraDAC->Mr Speakers Aeon Flow Open Link to comment
