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

What monitors are you rocking and do you rate them?

Genelec 8030C with a studio sub and room correction. Might be end game for me.

iLoud MTM MK2 vs Genelec 8010 — which for a small untreated room?

Get the largest speaker you can afford. Get the 8030 or 8040 if possible. That being said the ilouds have digital room eq correction built in afaik. The genelecs you mentioned don't have that. You need to either spend significantly more on the genelecs to get room correction or buy something like so

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.

Kef q3 meta toe in or not?

Erin Audio Corner recommends to listen 15 degree off-axis. So, if you point the speakers at you (on-axis), and toe them out 15 degrees to remove the diffraction effect typical from coaxial speakers. When I had my LS50 Meta's, I honestly couldn't reliably tell if there was a major difference so I lef

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

Which Genelec Monitor Model is the Top of the Line?

It’s a little complicated to answer this question. The a vs b vs c variants are the same model, generally with the same performance class, but with improvements under the hood (such as the transition to class D power supplies and amps). However, the different models were introduced at different time

Active speakers for rotary mixer

I have used quite a lot of different active monitors at home over the years. 2nd hand classic Genelec 8030c off eBay. They are virtually indestructible due to their aluminium casing and have an excellent sound for all sorts of rooms. Or the base model Focal monitors which are designed for DJs. Focal
