8 years old 8030a vs new 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

My basement studio

Those 8030 Genelecs are probably 10 years old believe it or not, hard to see but I have the 7050 sub behind the minimoog. I mainly use them when I am designing sounds on the modular system but sometimes I reference on them. Even a 10 year old speaker still handles business

Hifi speakers are generally voiced or designed for distance listening. Get yourself some decent near field monitors especially since you have a high end digital mixer with those excellent Neve transformers to really appreciate this mixer. I have owned a lot of high end rotary mixers including ARS. T

complete newbie

Genelec cant go wrong, happy 8030c user here ( bought last year, €550/pc ). In my opinion the 'a' is a good unit, newer models are a bit updated ( more power, auto off option i believe and some other settings ) but i really recommend to ad a subwoofer. I use the 7050c, the 5.1 subwoofer and i really

8030

I would guess you will notice a nice improvement although I can't find third party measurements of the Yamaha to confirm one way or the other. You don't say which model of the 8030. The C model is the latest. Things may sound wrong at first, because you are adjusted to the Yamaha 'sound', is it has

my homemade setup

Nice I have used Genelec’s for years for my home DJ near field monitoring. I have some 8030c in white on their mic stands which screw into the base. They sound great in lots of different rooms and the ergonomics are excellent as they don’t take up much space plus there a load of desk, wall and stand

Anyone here using Genelec 8010 as home dj monitors? are they good or too small?

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

Speakers upgrade

Genelec user here, 8030c with 7050c, i loooove them. Especially the sub is a welcome addition with monitors that size. When im not playing my hardware over them, i listen casual music and it sounds better than my living room hifi ( biamped KEF over some Onkyo amps ). The sub gives me a bottom of 24h

Dry low end recommendation

Get the Genelec sub, its really , really worth the money. But, dont take the smallest, the 7050c is made for the 8020(c) and gives you all you need. I use it with a pair of 8030c and its a whole different sound without. Your small nearfields will sound better, mostly because of the filtering in the
