We all know Genelecs are better than ns10s. i think ns10s got popular with the studios back in the days where low-end frequencies where not as important and people didn't have subwoofers attached to every speaker system in their homes, cars, and computers. I can see rolling off at 80hz was fine back then. Now everyone wants more lower end. Metal bands tune down to C and B instead of E standard. Hiphop and electronica are key elements to this craze. Most consumer spreakers have boost in the lows and highs. I heards car stereos sound better than ns10s and had better responce. I have a friend who runs a car stereo shop and most he sells are 18" and tweeters and lots of foam padding. No need to fight over who has better gear and try to understand why people have these opinions instead.
