Any thoughts on a desktop setup? Passive? Active? What would a good quality set up look like or do you have?
I have an iMac 27” and I already have a focusrite clarett+ interface for my neumann 103 mic I use for podcasts and voice overs.
I have another set up but wondering what others have done.
Genelec 8020
I was looking at a set of Raw - they look awesome and way better than the grey ones.
The grey ones sound better… 
Oh I was waiting for something like that on here. 
Happy to oblige… 
The raw finish is a bit marmite - I don’t think I could live with it. The dark grey is pretty good at just ‘disappearing’ into the background. You’re supposed to be listening to them anyway - not admiring the finish…
Yes and my office is whacky so the grey would actually stand out!!!
Do you have a pair? If so what’s your experience?
I have a wiim ultra into AVi9s and a rel sub. Bloody marvellous and in all honesty around 80% of my listening due to work.
A pair of 8020b. Must be 15 years old now. Used extensively for tracking/editing/mixing my son’s band (indie rock) before they started using ‘real’ studios. The dip switches on the back let you adjust for where you put them. Neutral. Worked well listening to prerecorded music too. I never felt the need for more bass, but the Genelec sub should work!
So I ordered a set of 8010a Raw and a set of balanced cables for my Clarett+ Pre. Holy crap - I love it. Need the sub but what a set up and perfect for all my tasks including editing.
Thanks.
Sounds like a win…
Bullseye first time. I had been looking at the Genelecs for ages and your comment helped.
