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

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

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.

Genelec 8010 for the win. Built like a tank and great ref monitor.

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

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.

If you like bass, you need big speakers (or a subwoofer). You can't beat physics. If you already have a decent DAC or interface, you could try the Adam T5V and the Adam T10S sub. You should be able to find them both for 750$. Keep in mind that the T5V are a little deeper than your specs. Otherwise,

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

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

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.
