Monitoring home studio. Presonus Firepod used with. Monitoring.Mixage home studio. Listening to good old CD. The volume button also serves to switch not good. Especially since it is not so Crant, precision issue is not terrible nor practical to calibrate each new session's speakers ...

SOUNDS

Stereo image is excellent if one gets good distance (70 cm for models) and have made rglages APRS. At 1.50m, has become more difficult to discern the left and right (well, when even!)
The sound is clear and you have the bass down a bit thanks to the small buttons rear. I was told that low taient unflattering about 8020 ... I think they are too in the end.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been 2 or 3 weeks.
I like their design, sound, power, even if lack shoots because I think a little bit, these speakers saturate (once only with a mix in progress). If the mix is good, they do not saturate and you screw up your ears. In a large pice, it will not matter.
Me is limited but I do not have the budget for 8040 ... I am with.
I find the volume button on / off a little void. Small, not gradu ... The 8030 prcis not have an on / off switch not included, and 8040 have nothing at all (which is the audio interface gre??) Short.
I tried various entry MODELS (100 infrieur pair) ... nothing to see.
It's expensive but worth it. Let's say the quality has its price in a studio.
It's been the difference.
With exprience, and with a little more time, I probably had more money then I would have taken but the Genelec 8040.
