8010

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.

Can't go wrong with Genelec. I have a surround setup with 8030 in the front and 8010 in the back with 7050 as the sub. 8010 definitely needs a sub but 8030 and 8020 can live without it. Neumann and ADAM should be a fine choice as well, haven't listened to the Focal Alphas.

Any stereo setup should be able to create the phantom center depending on speaker placement and listener's location (and room acoustics to some extent). I personally have found Genelecs to perform acoustically well, but in this budget the bass extension is undeniably going to be lackluster to say th

I love Genelec and own 12 of their speakers. If I were buying - yes the 8010 are what I’d get because they’re Genelec. But if you like bass, there are better speakers for the money. ADAM audio T7V is great value for example. For just a desktop speaker and casual use, the 8010 is probably the best sp

Depending on your room and how loud you are able to play. I am guessing that’s why you are choosing 8010 or for travelling. The whole range is perfect for any kind of near field including as DJ monitors they are extremely robust and were made for location playback. They also sound great in lots of d

I have Genelec 8010 at home and 8030 at the practice place. Love them both. I feel the 8010s lack a bit in bass, but otherwise very well suited for my home needs. As such I'd recommend the 8020. A friend has those Adams and they are really good too Edit: I too switched from BX5. You'll be very happy

More details: Yes I selected the correct channel/inputs with the buttons (I was very confused at first, channel numbering isn't particularly logical imo). It's not leaking from the nearby channel: it's the proper source. Keep in mind the issue is both the low end lacking punch, but ALSO the high end

I agree 8020B or even 30C would be an improvement, but you can't really go wrong with 8010s. They punch way beyond their weight and provide enough bass as monitors for any house room setup. I highly recommend these small stands https://www.genelec.com/accessories/8010-320-table-stand-l-shape

best result would be 8010 plus 7040 sub. Or any decent sub in your price range, like that JBL 10". It will cover lower frequencies so small genelecs can do well in the higher range.
