Hey Guys,
I'm new to this Forum and this is my first Thread here. I'm a Producer, Singer/Songwriter and do Mixing and Mastering as well. Mainly in the Genres Hip Hop, R&B, Funk, Soul, Pop and sometimes EDM.
I have to make a Decision between Genelec 8361a withoud a Sub and
Genelec 8351B with either 1x 7370 Sub or two 7360 Subs.
I know it always depends on my Room Size, Listening Distance and max SPL. The Room I'm currently in is about 21 qm. So not very big.. and this is just my living Room now. But I'm looking to rent another Room for Studio Purposes only where I can listen loud withoud getting Issues with some annoying Neighbors. I didn't find a Room to rent now and I don't know how big or small the prospective Room will be. But I'm looking for a Room Size around 20-80 qm.
If I go with the 8361a, I can add one or two Subs always later, but if the Room Size is small maybe it's totally overkill? On Speakers I thinks bigger is always better. I've read Speaker Size matters. On the other Hand if I go with the 8351B and one or two Subs I'm more flexible with Speaker Placement and mabye can handle Room Modes better. I also read the 8351B works slightly better in the Nearfield because of more directivity and smoother Midrange..?
I've also read with a smaller Speaker with lesser physical depth can optimize SBIR placement in small rooms easier?
Would be great I you can give some good advice and help me to make the right Decision.
