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

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.

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.

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.

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

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
