I got a great deal on a pair of 8020B, they sound great but I only wish there was more bass. The bass sounds good, and theres almost more bass than my HS5, definitely more defined, but it drops off more steeply. Overall pretty impressive for a 4" driver.
I have decently extensive room treatment; like a dozen bass traps placed pretty well in a small room, mass loaded speaker stands, carefully measured positioning, etc. I'd really like to add a subwoofer, I think I've earned it lol. It could be a very long time before I can afford to purchase even a used Genelec sub (if one ever even comes up locally), let alone new. I'm writing/mixing/mastering bass heavy electronic music for over 10 years.
I can get a used HS8S for a great deal. Is this going to work OK with the 8020Bs? I'm sure a genelec sub is basically plug n play with genelec monitors, but I'm sure using a non-genelec sub creates a lot more Important considerations regarding phase, crossover, etc. I've read a few topics on this across the internet, but its mostly in regards to the SAM genelec speakers.
I also I only have a scarlett 2i4, not sure how well that can accommodate genelec monitors w/ non genelec sub. Looking to cheaply upgrade that anyways to something that can easily switch between my genelec & yamaha monitors, I don't do any recording and am not concerned about fancy DACs and whatnot.
Any advice appreciated
