That's specifically true for the 8010s. Their max SPL @ 1 m is app. 105
dB per pair, but the long term SPL is only 91 dB, expressly stated that
it is because of the protection circuit in the manual.
That being said, with 32 speakers, the SPL is 4 time higher than for 2.
That's far beyond comfort zone for any listener for the specified values.

One thing I would be careful of on small, active speakers is the protection
circuits. Sophisticated protection circuits thermally model (or even sense)
the drivers and reduce the gain if one of them is getting near the limits.
This can cause weird, signal dependent, image distortions when one of the
speakers is driven harder and drops in gain (usually in the bass). Because
the speaker doesn't just switch off, which you would hear, but simply goes
a bit quieter, in an Ambisonic array of, say, 16 speakers, this doesn't
shout out at you but just subtly distorts the image. Can be a really
annoying and difficult to diagnose problem, especially when you haven't
heard it before (been there, done that, got the T-shirt). With passive
speakers, this doesn't happen - you just get the rattle from the cone
hitting the endstops or the scrape of the melted voice coil against the
sides of the air gap but at least the first of these warns you when you are
near to damaging the speakers. Note that with small active speakers in
particular, getting to 'normal' monitoring levels gets you right into the
zone where the protection will keep cutting in and out :-(

Hello,
We're upgrading our current 15.2 (Behringer) loudspeaker array. I'd like to
get more spatial resolution and higher quality speakers. Right now I'm
thinking about (32) Genelec 8010 and (2) Genelec 7050B subs.
However, I have some concerns about the Genelec 8010s selling at only $350.
Does anyone have experience with these speakers, or have advice for my
situation?
thanks,
Charles
