Hello, I currently have a pair of Monitor Audio Bronze 2 connected to an Onkyo integrated amplifier that I would like to replace with Genelec 8030C connected to a DAC/preamp like the Topping EX5.
I have several questions about this.
Firstly, here is my listening environment :
- 12m2 room (3x4m)
- the speakers are placed on a stand about 5-10cm from the rear wall
- I listen to music from about 2m away, sometimes a little less
Does anyone have the measurements of the Monitor Audio in order to compare them to the Genelec?
I've searched all over the internet but couldn't find anything...
Do you think that the Genelec would be a good evolution of my system associated with the Topping EX5?
According to the tests carried out by Amirm it appears that they are excellent active speakers but I would like to know your opinion on my current system.
Then, at a listening distance of 2m, would I have parasitic noises from the amps/power supply integrated into the Genelec?
I have an SVS SB 1000 Pro subwoofer which I'm happy with but it produces a slight high pitched noise coming from the amp or power supply in the back, even at minimum volume and without a cable connected.
Is there a risk of having the same problem with Genelec or is it a manufacturing defect?
Finally, what would be the most suitable settings for my subwoofer associated with Genelec (if I take them)? SVS recommends a low pass filter frequency at 60Hz and a low pass filter slope at 24dB/octave for this model (https://www.svsound.com/pages/merlin). Does that seem right to you?
I hope this is the right forum to ask these questions. :/
