Genelec 6010A Review

The Genelec 6010A sells for about $350 per speaker—these are not cheap, and yet, they are the least expensive of the Genelec line. Genelec is known for making industry standard studio monitors, but the 6010A, with its compact 195 mm x 121 mm x 114 mm dimension looks more like computer (multimedia) speakers. Factor in [...]

Great little TV. The item I received differed from the one pictured, it was rubberized black and had better controls. I comes with a removable battery pack, 12v and AC adapters and a stick antenna.

The 1-DIN KD-AVX1 has a 3-inch full-color [...]
