Give me all of the prizes. I don't know which is my favourite, I've never had one, but I will gladly take them all and figure it out.

I guess I never really considered the fact that the audio imperfections would become so pronounced. I shall look into other avenues to make sure I don't purchase something I would dislike. I feel your advice goes rather well with the one from Trimen1000 regarding room size. Eventually I will be moving, not sure when since it is a very big deal, but I don't know if I will have access to something as spacious for my setup then as I do now. I figure I should plan ahead for the future with this as well. Thank you for the advice. Never heard of the products you've mentioned so I will look them up. Desk space shouldn't be a problem for me, but if it is I can just move my desk a little further away from the wall and put some speakers stands behind where they would have sat.

When I was first reading up on them, it was said the 8040B was one speaker that had that feature. Maybe I did a bad job searching online but I never found out whether that is an inherent talent of the speakers themselves or if it requires a software. Not too sure about the subwoofers though myself.
-
The totems I looked at are kind of stretching my budget more than I like. I will continue to look into them but so far I am still liking the Genelec stuff more. I've read that Genelec speakers, or at least some of them, can adjust their settings based on the room they are put in. Is that just a standard feature or do you need that, like, $800 software they sell? That guide is also pretty cool. Good on Genelec for going out of their way to make it.

Never heard of them. I will look them up. A DAC and a AMP can be purchased for them if necessary. I don't have any measurements for my room, but it is quite large. It is a set up I have in my basement rather than my bedroom because I have the whole basement set up as an entertainment and media room for guests and, of course, myself. I do not own a AMP or DAC, but I will get one if I need to. One DAC I looked at before was the Maverick Audio TubeMagic D1 Plus DAC. Not too expensive and have read some good things. I guess I should have mentioned that I don't entertain guests too often, at least not in the sense of a party where music is required, but sometimes my friends and I like to sit around and listen to some nice tunes. That is about the most extent the speakers will get for being at higher volumes or encompassing space. Also, I would like to take this time to thank everyone who has commented in this thread. I honestly thought it would take a long time before I got any replies, and this has been far beyond excellent so far. Thank you all. I really do appreciate this. (Edited for grammatical errors)

Well, I figure I will post here and see if I get lucky enough to win something. Never know, it could happen. -
That is a fair point. I figure getting the 7050B would suffice just fine. If I can I will get the 7060B, but with a price point like that it is hard to swallow.
-
Looked into that subwoofer, the 7060B, and it is damn expensive. I figure that is a more future purchase, a further in the future purchase for me since I don't know if I can shell out $2600 for it so easily. Anyone have any first hand experience with any Genelec pairings? The subwoofer I was looking at personally is the Dayton Audio Sub 1500. I found it for ~$200 and figured that it would offer enough. Other subwoofer suggestions would also be appreciated if possible.
-
Ah, I didn't know they were designed in pairs. That is actually really cool information. Glad I made this thread. I will be sure to look into those as well. I know a friend of mine has a pair at his place so maybe I can talk to him about them. See how they are. Thanks.

I've heard a lot of great things about Genelec while looking at their products online; they seem like a reputable company and they stand by their quality of work. I am honestly more interested in Genelec than anyone else. I've seen that Yamaha and others manufacture some great products but my eyes are glued on those delicious 8040B's. Thanks for the reply.

That is an excellent playlist of videos. I will definitely check that out in the morning when I am less tired. Thanks.

Hey all, I am will be undergoing a near complete station redesign in the future and was hoping to get some input about speakers for my PC. They will be placed either on my desk or on speakers stands purchased seperately depending on the size of them and how limited my desk space becomes. My budget is as high as $2000CAD for a pair of speakers so far, but I would rather not like to spend so much. I am more than willing to go over the set budget but I would have to see some justification for it to be considered. If the speakers are worthwhile then I will bite the bullet and spend the dosh. Thus far, I have had my interested piqued by Genelec, particularly their 8030B and their 8040B, Vantoo Transparent One, Emotiva Airmotiv 6s and Stealth 8, and Adams A8X. I listen to a lot of different genres of music so having a pair that suits that would be a dream because the tracks vary quite a bit between artists. The sound I am looking for is hopefully one that isn't unbearable or unpleasent, I don't want to ask for a lot from my speakers. I am going to be getting a seperate subwoofer and will be using that for any bass needs so I don't need my speakers to try and rattle anything. I won't be creating any music, or analyzing any either- I just want to be able to enjoy it at the fullest of my budgets ability. If anyone has any input regarding the speakers listed above, or the companies, then I would love to hear it. If you have any other suggestions then let me know, as I am open to hear them all. Any and all assistance with this will be greatly appreicated. Thanks.
