8 years old 8030a vs new 8010
I own both and can tell you that the improvement is substantial. 8030’s offer much better bass extension and even if you would run them with a subwoofer I would still recommend the 8030’s over 8010. For reference I use the 8010’s in my work-from-home setup, so mainly Teams calls and some low volume

iLoud MTM MK2 vs Genelec 8010 — which for a small untreated room?
This is not a meaningful comparison. The Genelecs’ build quality is much better, with an enclosure made from aluminum and a high resale value even after years. But the 8010 model is designed as a size marvel first, sacrificing low end extension and SPL. The iLoud MTM can play much louder and lower a

iLoud MTM MK2 vs Genelec 8010 — which for a small untreated room?
Genelec is a whole other League. Since both kinda need a subwoofer for a decent bottom end ( the 8010 will love the 7050, my 8030c does!) the choice is even simpler. Dont get me wrong, iLoud is a nice way of monitoring, it has some low even it has a very small footprint.

Speaker placement advice
i think it’s best to hung big speakers from the ceiling on either side so that the column will not block the sound. Maybe there’s a way to hang them and turn them if needed depending on the situation. if you do this, i would get the tiny 8010 genelec speakers and move them forward a bit on your tabl

Studio Setup (hardware recommendations and organisation advice needed)
If you're space and budget constrained on studio monitors, consider smaller (but still very good) monitors - Genelec 8010's or the MTM's from iLoud. There is a reason I always see HS5/HS7 and even HS8's on crazy sales used - they are tiresome. NS10's had their time decades ago, and yes - if your mix

What should I get my son for Christmas, his setup currently is , digitone 2 , analog heat +fx , torso t1, and novation bass station 2
Presonus eris 3.5 is a great entry speaker. If you wanna go fancy iloud micro’s or high end genelec (8010 or something - the smallest gray ones are amazing. But beware these are music production speakers not party speakers. They’d get loud but party speakers are build different than monitor speakers

Genelec setup for a small office: 8010+7040 vs 8030 vs 8320+GLM?
So are genelecs. Op should go somewhere and listen the options. That said 8010 vs 8030 are completely different game. As op i would go with 8320 and glm.

RANE ONE MKII Bluetooth speakers?
You can but there will be a significant delay like most blue tooth unless it has a mini jack cable option however it’s a common issue on most big PA systems due to the long cable runs. It was worse years ago especially if there were no monitors. This is where mixing in headphones or sync has its ben

8 years old 8030a vs new 8010
Genelecs are really reliable and have spare parts and good tech support available if anything fails. 8030a is much better than 8010 I would recommend them highly.
