genelec rules!
i dont know if they are midrange price i recon they are awesome price for value tho!

the RRP in some shops can be huge tho so u goto go into the shop where you live and talk to the doods to get a good price

also genelec got awesome phone support you can call em up and get realy good advice on what moniter to choose

8030a or 8040a What is a fair price to buy these? What rms are they?

8020: 95dB
8030: 108dB
8040: 115dB
8050: 120dB

Personally, I would recommend against 8040 -- if you need more than 8030 has to offer, you'll do yourself a favor by buying 8050's instead. In my opinion 8040 is not that much better than 8030, but it still carries significantly higher price. Even 8020's are good enough for many.

I paid 2500 euros for a pair of 8050's in august 2004 and that has been one of the best investments I've ever made.

I have the 8020.
Great for portability (laptop/monitor/xstation25/mbox2 )

However the 8030 has better mid-range focus as they're bigger.

It seems like NIN is using them on the road from the pictures (but who knows) and they actually seems to give very nice picture...
