8010

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

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

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

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

Yeah they are the tiny Genelecs, 8010! Have headroom issues compared to the others but still the best sounding things ever. I was really happy that the anodized aluminum finish on the Midori is such a close match to the Gennies.
