This speaker has been on the market for a long time, but still great as confirmed by Klippel measurements, its overall quality is exceptionally high. In a perfectly controlled, well-treated room, a strong competitor-Neumann 120II- might deliver a more balanced and detailed sound. However, this speaker performs well in various room environments, making it suitable for both monitoring and general music listening. Unlike the 8330A, it does not support GLM, but for someone like me who uses a room correction program such as Dirac, this is the perfect choice. I am very satisfied with this Generec 8030C
