Powered speaker pair is the Genelec 1029 (The 1029A was in production between 1996 and 2005. It was replaced by the 8030A) and it’s twin sister the HT205. The difference being that the 1029a has XLR and TRS inputs. The HT205 has XLR and RCA. Genelec 2029a with digital audio input (The 2029A was in production between 1998 and 2005. It was replaced by the 8130A model).
