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

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

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

For that small space I’d go for a pair of Genelec 8010 as monitors. They are super compact and very tight, after calibration with sonarworks reference ID and a behringer calibration mic, my sound is very reliable. I have three homemade aucustic panels as room treatment and it’s enough.

Get him a pair of genelec 8010's ! They sound great and are compact. https://www.thomann.nl/genelec_8010_ap.htm

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

Thanks for sharing the details. With that kind of setup, it’s actually quite normal to run into issues now and then. Laptop speakers, TVs, and even headphones all emphasize or mask different things - especially in the low end and stereo field - so without a neutral reference, it’s hard to judge how
