8030C

I own both and can tell you that the improvement is substantial. 8030’s offer much better bass extension and even if you would run them with a subwoofer I would still recommend the 8030’s over 8010. For reference I use the 8010’s in my work-from-home setup, so mainly Teams calls and some low volume

Genelec 100%, 1000% Genelec The 8010s are shockingly good for the cost and size, just keep in mind that woofers of that size simply cannot reproduce low end with the accuracy of a larger driver, those speakers only go down to 67hz which means you’re going to notice the lack of low end. Get a good pa

I can never live with the genelecs 8030c I had in the past. It's a little too sharp and when watching random low quality YouTube videos, it becomes unbearable. Not sure if it's the tweeter or the upper bass.

Genelec is a whole other League. Since both kinda need a subwoofer for a decent bottom end ( the 8010 will love the 7050, my 8030c does!) the choice is even simpler. Dont get me wrong, iLoud is a nice way of monitoring, it has some low even it has a very small footprint.

Genelecs are awesome. A pair of 8030 with 7050 sub will run you about $3000

I had genelec 8030c in near field config and now currently use q150 as tv speakers. while most compare 8030c to ls50 but I don’t have that so i will say 8030c is miles ahead of q150 in terms of sound quality. the position of everything just sounds “exact” and “correct” with proper bass and good timb

Side note: I agree that the style/finish of genelecs looks amazing and at some point I will get the 8030 as 8010 (which I had) does lack bass and I think it will be a struggle to mix music on it. So I replaced them with Adam audio d3v for my desktop speakers which I also use for corporate video prod

Depending on your room and how loud you are able to play. I am guessing that’s why you are choosing 8010 or for travelling. The whole range is perfect for any kind of near field including as DJ monitors they are extremely robust and were made for location playback. They also sound great in lots of d

OK so you have no sound constraints. I would still go for the 8020B otherwise it won’t capture the lower frequencies. Which are the important frequencies in most disco or dance music. Like I said get the Genelec mic stand it space saving and they can be adjusted to standing height. It’s makes all th

Genelec user here, 8030c with 7050c, i loooove them. Especially the sub is a welcome addition with monitors that size. When im not playing my hardware over them, i listen casual music and it sounds better than my living room hifi ( biamped KEF over some Onkyo amps ). The sub gives me a bottom of 24h
