I purchased these on eBay about five years ago so I could do a better job with audio. They really are well-built and sound superb, but my room set-up is so bad it doesn't do these justice. So, I've never really gotten the best out of these. They are older, but in very good shape as they have only sat on a table in my studio. I have very nice, high quality cables that go from a Mac and split into two XLRs that go into their rear plugs. Each monitor requires its own power. Plugs are included. Each speaker weighs 13.2 lbs, so shipping will likely run close to $50 or more. Prices vary wildly on eBay. I paid $650. Asking $500 but welcome reasonable offers. The cables themselves, which are at least 10' long on both ends, allowing for the monitors to be positioned left and right at comfortable distances, probably ran me at least 10% of my asking price. I'm pasting in the copy from Genelec's website FYI below. Thanks!
The Genelec 1029A was in production between 1996 and 2005. It was replaced by the 8030A.

The extremely compact 1029A is a powerful bi-amplified nearfield monitor system ideal for project and home studios, digital workstations, and surround sound monitoring. The monitor has a very rugged cast aluminium construction and magnetic stray field shielding as default for every single unit. Vented speaker enclosure contains an amplification unit, including an active electronic crossover, overload protection circuitry and two power amplifiers, one for each driver.
Genelec's unique Directivity Control Waveguide™ (DCW™) is used to provide excellent stereo imaging and frequency balance, even in difficult acoustic environments. Versatile room response controls allow matching of the system to its surroundings. If very large sound level and low cutoff frequency are required it can be complemented with the 7050A subwoofer.
The 1029A is very easy to set up and use, the only connections required are the mains supply and the line level input. The input is made via balanced XLR female or 1/4" jack socket connector which can also be used in parallel.
The 1029A/1091A combination is a TEC (Technical Excellence & Creativity) 1997 award winner for Studio Monitor Technology, and PAR (Pro Audio Review) Excellence award winner.
