Genelec 8010 AP 5-stars Reviews

Amazing tint speaker for very small rooms

These monitors arrived two days a go, I was blown away with clarity, I can hear everything.

If you are mixing in tiny room, or big cupboard, these are for you.

I have never had Genelec before, and I am astounded at the sound and quality, I bought them for secondary references speakers, but they are better than my main ones, so I have returned them and ordered bigger Genelec 8040s, I will sell my main Eris 8 monitors.

genelec build quality, amazing sound imaging and power for the size.

Genelec build quality, built to last and fully deliver what is promised. Sold my last monitors to buy these mainly for their portability, being so light and an ideal size for any situation. Allows you to experiment in different rooms without having the hassle of carrying heavier monitors. Functional/Useful tone controls.

No complaints whatsoever about them, except for the XLR port in the back, which I was aware of before purchase and is an understandable issue due to the size of the monitors. When connected, the XLR connector of my cables is too long so it touches the table and leaves the cable under some stress so I had to position the monitors on top of something and leave it at the edge to minimize the stress on the cable. This can easily be fixed by just buying other cables which are more flexible and have a smaller body.

Highly recommend these monitors to anyone, amateurs or professionals, if you're not working full-time or long term in a room, these allow great mobility and the best sound you'll ever hear for a monitor this size.

Oh yeah.

I'm a Genelec fanboy so this review is totally biased.

You might argue that you can get bigger speakers for this amount of ¤, covering a bigger spectral range (namely on those lows, seeing as how the woofer on these babies is only 4.5"), and you'd be right. You might argue that yamaha and adams and other such brands make really good speakers for cheaper, and you may even be right about that, too. But damn, these speakers sing to me. They are really clear, have amazing acoustic resolution, a nigh-on flat curve and they're really small and light (1.5 Kg) which means you can bring them with you on a plane! AND they're loud. Like really loud. Not that I blast them but you'd be surprised at the punch these beasts pack.
