You need the GLM kit.Hi all,
Hope you can help about my dilemma.
I have recently bought pair of Focal alpha 80 evo's, for nearfield music listening on my computer desk at home. Room is pretty small, 10m2, without acoustic treatment. For some type of music, electronic, blues and similar are ok, but for rock for example, highs are just to harsh for longer listening so I'm looking for alternative and heard good things about Genelec monitors.
Choice is between 8030c w. 7050c or 8330a w. 7350a. Second combo is better in terms of adjustability with GLM but I'm not sure can I use calibration mic that I already have from Lyngdorf TDAI 2200 room correction system and connecting laptop with ethernet directly to speakers or I need GLM kit for that?
Are there any sound differences between the two and would it make sense to get 8030c with 7350a sub or vice versa, 8330a with 7050c to cut down some expenses?
Sound wise as I understood reading multiple threads on this forum, without sound correction, they should sound the same, or maybe I'm wrong.
Just get the SAM speakers. The resale value is better and with the GLM they are ready to be used for your second (or seventh) system later on. The specs are better on SAM versions, no idea if that brings audibly benefits.
Then there is room correction. I know GLM does a good job, but no idea about Room Perfect. Does it do subs? You have an old amp, does it use the "best" version of Room Perfect? In case of Audyssey example the budget implementations are not that great.
