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

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

My new setup
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 spent years trying to create a good DJ space at home. Tried and tested lots of different monitors from expens

Trying to get the most out of my office
You can get pretty good actives in that prize range. I'd consider something like genelec 8030/8040. Genelec has great on-wall mounts for their speaker range as well. Another benefit of 8030 at least is they have a tiny footprint in case you'd ever want them on the desk. They're like half as deep as

Upgrading studio monitors for mixing/mastering — need your input
Thanks a lot for the detailed answer! My room is treated fairly well – just had some minor issues that I’ve managed to solve using Sonarworks, and it really helped dial things in. I’m currently using Kali 6s and feel okay with the woofer size, so the 8040 seems like a comfortable step up. I also loo

Home audio systems from Europe?
You're going to be drowning in suggestions from audiophiles. I use genelec 8040, active studio monitors. They can do anything all the fancy sound systems can. They are ugly as shit though, but their sound is huge =)

Please recommend me monitors or active speakers
Bought the Kali's, thank you so much for the recommandation. I won't get them before a while but, after looking at the reviews, I think I will be very pleased with them. I hesitated to stretch my budget and get either the Focal Shape twin, the Neumann KH120II or the Genelec 8040 but the 8" LF woofer

Studio Monitor Recommendations — Alternatives to the Genelec 8330
Genelec 8330 is a bit small speaker (small sound). I have genelec 8040 (+room eq) and I recommend buying 8340.

My 10 grand battlestation when it peaked
8331 Is the correct size to get. Audiosciencereview measurements showed that the 8030 is the best designed size. Followed by the 8050. With 8040 clearly showing signs of being not important and being a bit of a rush job. That isn't true for the Ones as they don't share enclosures with the old 8000 s

Genelec 8040b for general home audio
Hei du! Norsk genelec entusiast her. Eg har ca. samme høgtalar i stua (G four) + 7070a sub og same bruksområde minus platespelaren. Kan absolutt anbefale 8040b. Prisen på 10k er bra, litt under finn snittet for den modellen som kanskje er ca 12-13k. Betalte 13k på finn for mine i 2017. Så litt avhen
