Dear AudioRoundTable forum members/moderators:
I'm looking for help choosing the correct model of Genelec speakers/subwoofers for my home theater:
Room dimensions: Living/Dining hall: 25' x 18' open to a Foyer: 9' x 12' with Ceiling height 10'. Flooring is a polished marble, Untreated cement plaster ceiling/walls. Note that the home theater area will not be the entire Living/Dining hall and be restricted to about 15' x 18' of the hall [refer layout attached].
I do not plan on playing it with blow me off my seats loudness (except maybe when the wife is away) but just a set that is accurate/transparent for home-theater usage (about 80% movies, 20% music). All videos (avi, mp4, mpg, MKV, divx etc) and music (mp3) files are on hard-disk and will be played from a home-theater PC. [May Need sound card recommendations with RCA/XLR jacks depending on speakers recommended].
I have reviewed the following models and can't seem to decide which will work best for the above area:
6010B/G One
8020C/G Two
8030B/G Three
8040B/G Four
8050B
Subwoofers:
5040B/F One
F Two
7050B
7060B
Please recommend the minimum, the optimum, and the maximum system I should consider.
I have the following additional questions:
1. could you pl. confirm if 8020/G2, 8030/G3, 8040/G4 are available in white?
2. Is the price of the white model slightly lower than the corresponding black model?
3. Are there sub-woofer makes that pair well with and are as good as Genelec. If so I could save a lot on the shipping and buy a used sub locally.
4. I delved deeper into my search for a Genelec home theater because a friend recommended it to me. And only now I understand that there are other manufacturers. Maybe you have some other more interesting suggestions. I am always glad for new information.

I don't have their home theater at home, but I've got a friend, Daniel, who does and I must say I've been impressed by the performance of the home theater any time that I visited him. It is certainly a brand that I will consider if I am to get a new home theater any time soon.
