Due to losses, get 7350 much, much later. and Oh My, the room really was Much worse than you thought. You'll still want to add the 7350, just a bit later. Add the carrying case and you'll have an easily travelling 11 kg bag, which rocks any decent-sized room. Add 7350 as soon as possible => Bliss Beware though, no bass until done.Ĩ330SAM kit, € ~+40%, you'd be OK-ish from the start and there's the digital input (S/PDIF is fine) which is really convenient. Also, if you NEED a sub, the 7040 just won't cut it Sorry.

Third, you'll be all set to upgrade the monitors to 8320/8330(/8331)'s.

Why the 7350? First, at near-field there's a good chance you'll prefer to use the full range of the 8020's. to your preference (compare 60, 65, 70 Hz at least). If you just can't go SAM and NEED a sub, get the 8020D's and a 7350 and have someone with GLM set and store the crossover frequency etc. 8330's are surprisingly good even without a sub (got mine a year later).


If you can stretch it, do go straight for the SAM models, get a kit of two with GLM. Genelec makes the best stuff to listen to with low/moderate levels I've ever heard, this includes subwoofers. Listening levels are mostly irrelevant here - 99% of the time my GLM SPL meter doesn't even exceed 70 dB. The rear-wall still causes a cancelling dip I have to live with. My near-front listening position, which can't be changed, would be impossible without heavy DSP correction The 8030's had no chance whatsoever.

When a sub is participating in the higher bass frequencies I can hear and locate it, which I don't like With this setup I could set the monitors to go low enough and drop the sub crossover frequency so that it stays hidden. For my 3x4x2,5m room, with an even closer listening distance and the listening position near the front wall, I had to jump to 8330's and a 7350 under the desk. I'm no Genelec engineer, or in any way affiliated with them, bear in mind.īest advice ever, no-one can contradict: Borrow and experiment.Īs for my personal opinion.
