Perfect home studio speaker for Hifi and production
Nice industrial build, only non perfection are the jointing gap between the al enclosure have very tiny amount of unevenness on gap distance to be "Japanese" type of detail attention
Dip switches adapted to my very tiny room (4 m2) producing near perfect response and a very clear, detailed sound. If anything to be improved I would say the sensitivity, it's too sensitive even set to -6dB, where beside my preamp near lowest setting I need to control volume digitally through my DAC

I love my Gennies
My first set of Gennies and very impressed how they sound. They might be a tad flattering yet are analytical enough to perfect the mix but allowing me enjoy the sound in the process.

Beware of your room acoustics... very bassy monitors!
I'll start by saying that therse monitors are very well made. They produce A LOT of bass frequencies for their size!
My personnal needs were for some edits and pre-mixing in a home setup. Typical bed-room setup, close to a wall... I just couldn't find a good and flat sound with them, whatever the back filters I used, too much bass/boominess, strange mid resolution... For me, they didn't translate at all! ... I'm back on a pair of Yamaha HS5 and for some reasons, they sound much better for my application. Go figure...
Also, you have to 'like' the Genelec tone (yes, they have a 'tone'). I've had a few of their models in the past 20 years, and they all share the same top-end / high type of tone. You like or not... I'm past the return window now, so my pair is now for sale.

Genelec 8030 CP
with these speakers it sound a lot more clear to produce muziek for eletronic house, its great reference makes my job easy.
I put them in the corner of my studio setup, and the features for fine tuning the sound with the regulators on the back of the speakers.
i had de subwoofer with the network cable so i could not tune the bass, i did not know that the Smart serie online works with the network cable en sound kit to adjust the volume.
So you have to make sure the subwoofer and monitor speakers are compatible.

Great sound at a great price
There’s a reason Genelec is one of many studios cornerstone. It gives accurate, clean sound without hassle. I use them mainly for multichannel sound installations, and to be able to get familiar sounds every time is valuable. Saved me so much time

Can't go wrong
These are amazing and accurate. Best used with a sub though. I used swissonic sub 10 for years crossed at 80hz and worked great.

Amazing monitors for small rooms.
Fantastic neutral sound, metal enclosure, auto on/off, perfect for small rooms.

A joy to work with
Best solution for a small studio set up, don?t let the size fool you, they do sound bigger than they are. I make bass heavy music and the response from these are very focused and transients are clear without being fatigued.
Can?t live without them now.

Great for desk setup
I got these to have on a desk (using K&M 23310 stands to lift them 20 cm) with a laptop in the middle and the speakers on each side. They perform really well in this setup, even though the room is untreated. Position them in the right triangle and the stereo image is great. They can play super loud. Bass is there, even though the woofers are just 5".

Best for small home recording studio needs
Yes it is pricey compared to the budget popular brands but it is worth every cent once you hear it in action. The monitors could feel they lack some low end but for the smaller room there would be much more trouble to handle that extra low end. I feel this is a perfect choice for small home recording studios. If you cant live without that extra oomph, get a sub to compliment them.
