I'm keen for your collective wisdom everyone. I'm seeking to upgrade my speakers from the Q Acoustic M20HD for desktop. They are mounted on speaker stands approx. 30cm (11-12inch) on my desk, perfect for tweeter at ear level. My room is about 50% treated, not an optimal size (square shape), but I have my desk near the wall and acoustics sound great where I sit.
I would also consider upgrading the REL t7x, but it's not as priority (I know REL gets a bit of hate on this forum, but it's a superb sub for me and the music I listen to at the moment). I listen solely to music (deep house, EDM, film scores/orchestral, rap, etc).
I am going to try out the Genelec 8340's in store, and by all accounts they seem like they will be the pick. But, I am keen to understand if there are any other recommendations I should trial (consider money is not a limiter at this stage).
Same goes for subwoofers, Genelec 7360A appears great, particularly for the GLM integration.
As I mentioned, my room isn't 100% treated and would be difficult to get it there, so the SAM system is attractive. I plan on spending many hours doing measurements with a mic and treating the room soon enough.
Here's my requirements:
- Active
- Near-field (0.5m - 1m listening distance)
- I listen to volumes low-medium. Rarely loud, but on occasion.
- 1 sub, I won't be moving around the room.
- 100% music use, I love precision and listening to music the way it was intended to be produced.
- I'm willing to spend a bit of money as this upgrade will be my permanent office setup. (I work from home and spend 8-12 hours a day at my desk).
- If it helps to understand my listening profile, I have Focal Clears for my headphones.
First time posting here, have lurked a lot and read a lot of reviews and posts. Thanks a lot for all your contributions.
