Can studio monitors still be enjoyable in an untreated room if mixing accuracy isn’t the primary goal? Looking for immersion and fun.

I could be all off here — I am not a professional, an expert or anything like that — but no one has mentioned whether you are setting these up as near-field monitors or as room speakers. I’m set up right now with a pair of Genelec 8030c speakers a little more than arm’s length away from where I sit.

DJing from a Conservatory - best near field speakers?

I have used Classic Genelec near field monitors for years. Currently use the Genelec 8030c in white as they blend into my white lounge walls on their official mic stands which are space saving and can adjusted to any height, which also means you don’t need a large desk to accommodate monitors. They

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

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

OK so you have no sound constraints. I would still go for the 8020B otherwise it won’t capture the lower frequencies. Which are the important frequencies in most disco or dance music. Like I said get the Genelec mic stand it space saving and they can be adjusted to standing height. It’s makes all th

Hifi cost

Depends: - Differing opinions of 'sweetspot' performance, which could be small bookshelves or massive floorstanders depending on your opinion - I find bookshelf speakers to be too big a compromise in a big room - Sources: streaming is less costly than physical digital media (CD/SACD/Atmos mixes) whi

Second guessing my upgrade path (Consumer vs pro audio)

Another benefit of genelecs, 8030 or similar, is they got a tiny footprint for a desk. I used to have 8030c on my desk and now use revel m106 which are massive. Put them on a pair of 8000-333B table stands and you got an excellent setup. For a living room or somewhere i could put the revels on stand

Another update

Those Genelec have been around forever. However they are just excellent for any kind of monitoring or mixing and are ultra portable. And they also sound great in lots of different spaces. I have 8030C in white on their official microphone stands which are just perfect as you can literally place them
