Aww! Fisher Price My First Genelecs

Okay, so they’re not Fisher Price. These are Genelecs, coming from the respected studio monitor maker. But the series name First Step reminds me of something like My First Dollhouse.

They’re not that bad. But they are a step down from the shapely black ones you’d see a recording studio. The new 6010A Genelecs are intended to be sold at consumer level. At less than $400, they’re quite a bit cheaper than their professional brothers, and their coloring looks about as serious as the previously mentioned dollhouse. What next, pink? Genelec even lists iPod connectivity as a selling point. Meh.

There’s also a 5040A subwoofer to compliment these Bathroom Tile White semi-montiors. I like Genelec, but I’d say save your money for the big ones.
