I just wonders how can you be better than a speaker this flat on axis! If I remember and understand correctly the 8040 and 8050 currently is less flat due to physical limit of a larger and resulting distortion or resonance so I guess a better amp won’t likely make it better than a 8030c? Maybe more bass extension ?The 8030C is a better loudspeaker than former 8030B. The sound is better, the distortion is lower. The Genelec 8030C has tpa3118 inside - its a better sounding chip than class A/B chip amps like 3886. I have two 3886 chip amp A/B amplifiers at home but they are collecting dust right now.
I have played around with many tpa 3116 and done modifications and so on... its really good. Noone of my klass A/B amps is sounding better. The opposite in fact.
Tpa 3251 is even better and the sound from that chip can rival high end amplifiers in class A/B.
I think the upcoming Genelec 8040C will be a killer.
