One white Genelec 8331 monitor purchased from an authorised dealer in January 2018 and delivered April 2018.  It comes with the standard 5 year warranty so more than 3 years left for peace of mind. Together with the 8341 this is the smallest three way monitor on the market that accepts either analogic (XLR) or digital (AES&EBU) inputs. It can be calibrated with a GLM kit (not included). 

 

It is a significant step up from the likes of LS50 Wireless – please check out Darko’s review for the 8341 here https://darko.audio/2018/02/genelecs-the-ones-8341-think-inside-the-box/. The 8341 is the more powerful monitor but it shares the same sound signature, only 8341 goes louder and lower so 8331 would match well a smaller room, a desktop etc. I have had the 8341 as well and, with a sub, there is little to tell the two apart.  
The white monitors cost extra and they are made on special order, meaning at least 6 weeks of wait from the time of placing the order (I had to wait for three months!). 
This one has been used lightly in a 5.1 system as centre channel. It is sold in the original box, with power cables, ethernet cable, leaflets. It is in mint condition, with no marks or scratches, and sounding beautifully. 
Selling as not getting enough use – I mainly listen to stereo music nowadays.
Again, this listing is for one (mono) monitor only, you will need two of these for a stereo system. 
Collection preferred (SW19). 
Any questions please don’t hesitate to ask. 

Acoustically Concealed Woofer (ACW) technology delivers superior imagingThe 8331’s dual woofers employ Genelec’s innovative Acoustically Concealed Woofers (ACW) to extend their coaxial acoustical radiation concept to bass frequencies. Hidden inside the monitor’s cabinet, these woofers use the entire front baffle as a giant Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW) to control directivity over a very wide bandwidth, creating a massive “sweet spot.” It also provides effective separation from the 8331’s Minimum Diffraction Coaxial (MDC) driver, which reproduces midrange and high frequencies. The result is incredibly accurate monitoring with unparalleled frequency separation, a wide dispersion pattern, and unbelievable imaging.”X-ray” view of Acoustically Concealed WoofersSmart Active Monitor (SAM) technology provides remarkably accurate monitoringThese days, it’s not unusual for an engineer to work in a small, less-than-perfect acoustical environment. Genelec’s Smart Active Monitor (SAM) technology takes this into account by allowing the 8331 SAM to automatically calibrate its level, timing, and equalization to your room, ensuring that you hear the original nuances of your source accurately, without color or distortion. By using the highly-intuitive Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM) software, you can control an entire network of SAM speakers, giving you a highly-flexible computer-controlled system of monitors and subwoofers.Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE) delivers focused nearfield soundThe 8331 SAM features Genelec’s Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE) with rounded edges and a gently curved front and sides. This allows the 8331 SAM to achieve a very smooth frequency response and superb imaging qualities with minimized cabinet edge diffraction.Genelec 8331 Active Studio Monitor Features:Smart Active Monitor (SAM) provides remarkably accurate monitoringMinimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE) delivers focused near- and midfield soundMinimum Diffraction Coaxial (MDC) driver provides superior imagingDirectivity Control Waveguide (DCW) for linear on- and off-axis responseDual Acoustically Concealed Woofers (ACW) extend directivity control to bass frequenciesOptimum performance in both horizontal and vertical positionTech SpecsPowered:Yes Power Configuration:Tri-amped LF Driver Size:2 x (5.12″ x 3.62″) concealed woofers MF Driver Size:1 x 3.5″ MF Driver Type:Diffraction Coaxial Driver HF Driver Size:1 x 0.75″ Coaxial tweeter HF Driver Type:Diffraction Coaxial Driver LF Driver Power Amp:72W MF Driver Power Amp:36W HF Driver Power Amp:36W Total Power:144W Frequency Response:58Hz-20kHz (1.5 dB) Maximum Peak SPL:104 dB SPL @ 1m Input Types:1 x XLR (analog, AES/EBU) Output Types:1 x XLR (AES/EBU) Other I/O:2 x RJ45 (GLM network) Features:DIP switches (standalone EQ set up) Enclosure Type:Ported Height:11.25″, 12″ (with stand) Width:7.5″Depth:8.37″Weight:15 lbs.Manufacturer Part Number:8331
