Youngling Posts: 19 Join Date: 8/31/16 Recent PostsWell I never considered using two speakers for one channel, but here is a little what I found out when testing some Genelecs. I use my Genelecs on 2.0 configuration quite a lot. I never did test the G3 or 8030 size thought. My selection was between 8040 and 8050 and finally chose 8250 due the DSP. As I live in concrete apartment and the placement of the speakers is next the walls close to the corner. I remember that the main difference I found out with 8040 vs 8050 was not how the bass sounded, but how the sound was when you were listening it off from the optimal listening position. At optimal listening position the difference between two was hard to notice (8040 vs 8050). But once you moved off from that listening position the bigger speaker sounded better, I suppose that is the difference between 3/4 inch vs 1 inch tweeter. So I ended up with 8250's. The final tweaking was done with GLM, I remember that there were 2 bass spikes up to 16 db, so bigger the woofer the bigger the possible problem in not so optimal room and placement of the speakers
