| what about the 80 series?
i find this thread very interesting as i am currently looking very hard at the genelec 8040a.
it is indeed the case that a lot of people on interweb forums give out about genelecs, but in fairness, they are a standard in many studios and have been at it since '78 so i figure you cant go too far wrong with them. just gotta get to know em, like any decent speaker system, all of which have their own character.
for the price, €1500 here in ireland (albeit from online retailers), the 8040 seem to give a lot of bang for the bucks when compared to offerings from the likes of adam which i was lusting after til very recently.
i need a pair of monitors that are portable and robust for location recording (mainly various shades of rock through roll) and that are also trustworthy. the 8000 series seem to deliver in all these areas and would also likely make a good first pair of decent nearfields for my fledgling setup.
am i on the right track with the 8040s?
aanybody have any experience of them?
much appreciated,
richie. |
