8040B

Congratulations!!!! I love my Genelecs! I have the 8040b’s! Enjoy! The clarity is superior to my KRKs that I still have.

I recently got a pair of 8040 and they are superb. I have had Adam f5 before and they were great too, but not as good as genelec. The Adam has a really special sound because of that tweeter, but the genelec are little more coherent and accurate, in my opinion.

i don't really know many brands in that price range with the quality of the barefoots. If you are looking specifically at 3-way, I recommend looking into these: HEDD Type 20 A-Core or MK2 (probably better than the Adam 8H) Dynaudio LYD 48 Kali SM-8 And if it doesn't have to be 3-way, that opens up m

I haven't mixed on Barefoot, but I have on Genelec 8040 and found it misleading. My impression was that the two drivers don't integrate very well at nearfield distances, and because the monitors are so detailed they can clearly present a mix that lesser monitors would struggle with due to masking an

I always wonder how many people that buy these don't know about the dip switches. Hopefully not many. The other thing no one talks about is how much louder they are than people think. Can easily throw them in most small/medium sized rooms and will have zero issues being loud enough and have almost c

Two things happened in close proximity. I got a dedicated room for my music studio which I treated as best I could with custom-built bass traps and acoustic treatment. Then shortly after I got a pair of Genelec 8040's to replace my KRKs. THAT's when the glass ceiling shattered and I was able to hear

Thats good as the best stuff in diy isnt kits, its making your own boxes and doing active filtering. Not very difficult to filter a speaker with some dsp and you can use it for all future projects. A sig180 or comparable woofer with sb26adc and 3d printed somasonus waveguide are basically as good as

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

Juno 60 what a great synth, that's a keeper. I actually just sold a pair of Genelec 8040B studio monitors and bought the JL sub, it's overall a better sound with the very musical bookshelf speakers imho.

Absolutely agreed on the non-coaxial Genelecs, the 8351s we have are pretty remarkable and smoke the Kalis (as they should for $5k/each), but the Kalis really hold their own against the 8050s and 8040s. And yeah, even working at 80db is a lot for me, 75 is my sweet spot and I feel like the Kalis rea
