Revolutionary Audio Precision with the 8381

Introduced in 2023 to mark Genelec’s 45th anniversary, the 8381 redefines high-end audio by bringing professional studio-grade performance to home environments. With 6 kW of amplifier power and a staggering 126 dB maximum SPL, it delivers unmatched clarity, headroom, and low-frequency control. The loudspeaker’s acoustically coaxial design ensures precise imaging and uncolored sound across a frequency range of 20 Hz to 35 kHz.

Key Features of the 8381:

  • Minimum Diffraction Coaxial (MDC™) driver for exceptional clarity and imaging.
  • Dual 15-inch woofers with LF adaptive technology for room-tailored bass response.
  • GLM calibration software for intelligent acoustic adaptation.
  • Piano Black finish and engraved floor-mounting amplifier for premium aesthetics.

 

The 8381’s advanced GLM calibration software allows it to adapt seamlessly to any room, minimizing acoustic imperfections like reflections or resonances. This ensures listeners experience music exactly as the artist intended, with every nuance preserved.

Publisher

Marco Lisi is the publisher of Best of High End, part of AV Concepts BV. His path into audio started early: as a teenager he was drawn into the world of free radio, presenting shows and living immersed in music every day. In his early twenties he ran his own production studio for five years, creating jingles and commercials — hands-on training in sound design, pro-audio workflows, and critical listening through studio monitors that still shapes how he evaluates gear today. He also spent years DJing in clubs before moving into publishing, first at two earlier online magazines before founding Best of High End. His hi-fi and home cinema passion was inherited from his father, an inveterate system-swapper. Marco's first setup — a confirmation gift — paired AKAI separates with entry-level Bowers & Wilkins speakers, a brand he stayed loyal to for years as his system grew from stereo into full surround and home cinema. Like many enthusiasts, he went through an extended "audiophile" phase chasing the next upgrade, before settling into a more grounded view: gear as a means to enjoy music and film, not an end in itself. Years of critical listening have given him a well-trained ear — the ability to characterize a system or pinpoint a change in the chain quickly and accurately. Just as important, his teaching background (a Belgian "regent" degree in Dutch language) gives him the tools to translate those listening impressions into clear, readable writing.
