Genelec SAM active studio monitors for home use

https://www.genelec.com/studio-monitors/sam-coaxial-studio-monitors

Wondering if anyone has experience with Genelec SAM monitors in their home. They are meant for near field listening, but I wonder if they can fill a room if seated 8-10 feet away. These speakers have room correction and coaxial design. On paper it seem very promising. Please share any first hand experience. Not looking for opinions, but first hand demos in store or feedback from owners. 

My last post on this forum was a disaster. Giving it another try. Mentioning it just in case the same trolls strike again.

A lot of nearfield monitors do have more limited dispersion but if you look at the Genelec The Ones lineup like the 8351 you can see the dispersion of the system is better than even passive home theater speakers with coaxial drivers like Kefs.

These speakers should have no issues at all for even home theater use.

Sorry he's a better link:

You can see the vertical directivity of the Genelec is crazy good. Speaker height won't be as sensitive as many speakers.
