I have been a sound designer and music composer for more than a decade and it took me a while until I could afford the Genelec class speakers. I've worked with headphones and Yamaha HS series for quite a while though, but the 8040 BPM series are a game-changer.
The sound is very clear, I could even hear noises of compression, something that I could barely detect on my old speakers and even headphones.
The bass is so clear, I barely have to equalize or touch it afterwards.
The options on the back that allow for bass and treble tilts are also very useful and can help in finding the perfect balance for your room.
The price is pretty high, but so is the quality. All in all, I am really happy with this purchase,
