I already have some Genelec monitors, what else do I need to make a 5.1 system?
Use this table to select a subwoofer and surround speakers to add to your existing 2-channel stereo monitoring system:

Note:
Additional subwoofers of the same type may be required in larger rooms with bass heavy program material. The surround loudspeakers can be compromised to a slightly smaller model if space and/or budget are limited. If you have any questions, or are looking for larger systems, please contact GENELEC. It is better to ask and get it right first time than to make a mistake.
