Hifi and power!
I bought this pair for my tripleduty use: PA/Hifi/Studio. I amplify instruments and use 8050 as my voice PA. On freetime main duty is HiFI and hometheater.
Design and usability:
Rounded design is great. Makes the look much less bulky. The size is bigger than I could estimate from pictures.
Setting the dipswitches is pain in the neck, as the dip switches lie so deep in the back You have to tilt whole speaker down to get visual. Easy to scratch the front like this. The bass port doubles as surprise handle.
HiFi:
The 8050 is really respectable HiFi speaker. The larger tweeter and waveguide make BIG difference when compared with the 8040. The difference in directivity is not subtle.. 8050 has so much better directivity. Soundstage is clear with depth and detail. In comparison 8040 is like listening behind a curtain.
SPL:
The 8050 has more than enough SPL for my 15m2 unthreated room. I could not light the limiter up. These babies are LOUD! With the little bother 8040 the SPL limit was way too close - no such problem here.
Frequency Range:
Lower range is listed at 35Hz, but 40Hz is closer to truth, Definately needs subwoofer for all material. Lower frequencies compress when played louder. Only 8 inch woofer here.
Extra;
Nice that the speaker has automatic power off.
Wishes:
I only wish the LED would be white as in G5.
Verdict:
These speakers can live up to my tripleduty really well. Before purchasing the 8050 I tried out the 8040 pair: no competition there.
