two 8010 + 7040 vs two 8030c

Youngling Viestejä: 2 Liittymispäivä: 16.5.2020 Viimeisimmät viestit

Hi, I'd like some help with deciding between these two choices (mainly because of a similar price range):
two 8010 + 7040 subwoofer
two 8030c
Any of the models with SAM are too far out of my price range.
My use case is just listening music. The room is 4.1m x 3.1m x 2.75m (~35m2).
I don't know if there's a clear "best" choice between those two, but I'd like to know the benefits of each over the other, or of course, if there's one you'd clearly recommend better.
Thanks for any input, cheers.

What's the distance between the listener and the speakers? In my humble opinion, both solutions are too little for the dimensions of your room and supposedly for the distance. Please check what Genelec suggests for the volume of the room and the listening distance for each of it's monitors.

It's quite near field, about 1m, I could set it farther up to something like 1.5m tops.

Go for the biggest tops you can afford.

buy a sub later if you find you need it.
