is Genelec industry standard in mastering and transfer studios Heath? Assuming that's your current gig of course.

Tim--

I would say that in mastering, no, Gennies are not standard.  Typically those guys are running speakers WAY more expensive and they are usually loudspeakers as opposed to nearfield monitors.  The Gennies are more commonly found in a tracking/mixing environment.  With regard to transfer studios (like myself) it varies across the board.  In the caves, we used to run B&W's that I loved in one studio and Blue Sky's in the other room.  At the new place, I'm running Gennies (1031--thanks, Swampy) in Swampy's room, and I just put some ProAc Studio 100's in my room.  So far I love the PRoAcs.  Very clean, yet still musical (as far as my half-deaf ears can tell).  Swampy says they sound nice, and he can hear like a champ

I had genelecs for a long time (both the 1030 then the 1031) and I loved the sound of them but never my mixes.  always felt they made everything sound good.  The Dynaudios also have this problem but to a lesser degree.  In my studio I now happily use adam s3a's while in the studio I freelance in, they use a pair of focals and a pair of ATC speakers in their two rooms.  I could work with any of these, happily, tho if I had $600 I would get the dynaudio bm5a.
