8030C

Same for the Genelec 8030/8330. In pair with the KH120 they are the best sounding monitor I ever experienced out of the box (have the 8030 myself). When tuned to the room they are simply amazing (same thing with the KH120).

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

I have the 8030C studio version pretty much the same just professional connections. I use for near field playback and as DJ monitors for a bespoke system no pioneer all high end analog including RME conversion. Read the manual.

However, the different models were introduced at different time

If you want a practical monitoring solution for home with excellent ergonomics so you can-really enjoy your new setup. Your room & positioning will always make the biggest difference.

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

They are fantastic speakers for a desk at that price point. They're good for a small room but will be a lot better with a subwoofer. They aren't an ideal solution for a home stereo / movie setup. They sound great for their size, but in no way do they transcend it. You can get better sounding bigger
