@@malibustacy3606 in 2006 I A/B tested Genelec 8020 monitors to KRK Rokit monitors in Cologne while on tour in Germany. These little 8020 monitors cost twice what the Rokits cost and were half the size of the Rokits but sounded just as powerful if not more powerful and much clearer with definition in the tops the midrange and the bass. It was actually obvious why the price of one 8020 was the equivalent of two Rokits. The quality was really twice as good. I completely understand Floyd Hartman's statement. "What a major upgrade!!" I bought those same 8020 monitors right there and had them ship them back to the UK for me. I still use them to this day

@Mtaalas 5 жыл бұрын

@@RoomAtTheTopStudio This is why rokits are sold in pairs and genelecs are sold individually. Rokits need to match the units that come from the line to each other, because they all sound a bit different. Genelec instead creates such a good monitor, that each individual unit is as good as any other and you can trust that what ever units you pair up to stereo or 5.1 system, it's going to sound as it should :)

And few months ago added the 7050b Sub. Also took me few weeks finding the right placement and phase behavior, once you find it they blow you away! Very musical Subwoofer! Can hear the lowest octave with ease and very flat! Cinema Music or OST is also mindblowing. Just having a small room with some QRD Diffusors and two full range Absorbers and actually compared to my other room dont need much more. They play very very musical and hear all the details i also hear on my Focal Spirit Pro Headphone. So truly happy as you get professional Gear! At very reasonable Pricing! Cheers.

Ordered some 8010s as my first set of monitors. About double my initial budget, but the more research I did, the more I was turned off by all of the other monitors in ~$1000 and below (a pair) range. I am not sure why one would advocate for anything other than the flattest possible frequency response. If I want to have to guess if my mix is good, I'll just put my beyerdynamic 990s back on and induce massive hearing fatigue. I will probably need a sub though, once I have another grand just lying about 7040 seems like a good choice.

My bedroom is roughly 11’ x 13’ and the speakers will go on the 11’ side of the room. And the room has a large bed, wardrobe etc all in it and I’m making it into a bedroom studio and the monitors will also be my casual listening speakers.. was looking at Adam A7x going by various reviews and also it’s in the budget. But Genelec would have been ideal.. though way more expensive. The 8030c are little more expensive than the adam a7x whereas the 8040b are double! So will the 8030c do the needful or will it be small for the room? Also maybe 8040b might be big for the room as it’s 90+90 W. what do you guys think?

hey there. if you haven't made your decision already, i highly suggest saving up for the genelecs. I upgraded from the adam a5x to genelec 8330A about a year and a half ago. when i had the adams, i could very clearly hear that i was listening to speakers. with the genelecs, i don't hear the speakers, but rather, pure sound. i've listened t to systems like amphion, barefoot, dynaudio etc. none of them can really do what genelec manages to do in terms of stereo image, resolution, and accuracy. the only brand i can think of passing up genelec for is ATC and even then...

The problem I found with the Genelec's was that the were fatiguing up close where I need them. It was too over powering. They only sounded good to me when I moved WAY back from them and then their "spread" became clear. Like 10 feet back or something. My music space is much too small for a monitor like that. I needed something that sounded great with them 3 to 5 feet from my head so I went with the Neumann KH120's. To me they were much nice sounding with an amazing spread up close.

At my facility, other than the 3 Genelec 8050s, I have krk v8 series 1, Krk rokit 8 series 1 and 2, mackie hr824, Adam a7, Adam a7x, Yamaha hs80, Yamaha ns10m, aventone, Alesis monitor 2 and ADSl910 for mid and far field monitoring.

@@aseelriyadh1556 Yes, I was surprised at how well the 8040's produce bass, being only 6.5". Really, unless you have an abnormally large room, the 8040s produce enough bass. In my case, they are producing enough bass down to 36hz. Then it falls off very quickly. I have considered getting a subwoofer for frequencies below 36hz, but it really shouldn't be "needed". As I see it, the problem with 8050s is that you'd need to sit quite far away from them. Already with the 8040s, you need to keep around 1.5 meters away from them in order for them to sum correctly. Therefore, I think you should really consider 8050 to be a mid-field monitor.
