Frequently Asked Questions

The coaxial driver aligns the tweeter with the woofer, creating a remarkably coherent soundstage with excellent imaging and a more unified sonic picture.
While the monitors sound decent without it, the GLM system unlocks their full potential by compensating for room acoustics and ensuring accurate frequency response.
The 8351BWs offer a more neutral and transparent sound compared to some monitors that might have a more colored or 'hyped' presentation, prioritizing accuracy above all else.
