I’ve got the smaller 8010B as a traveling companion. Lovely to get some decent sound in the Hotel room at longer business trips. Anyhow, I tried them out by putting them on top of my Majik 109 standmounts, switched the power amp off and fired the system up. My first reaction was: “didn’t I switch the standmounts off?” Although their small size the impress in the lower end. I believe the 8040C must be gorgeous. My recommendation to my kids when they move out will be to get a pair of Genelecs and a decent DAC as a starting system.I loved the little Genelec 8020C’s so much that after a week I picked up the model two sizes up (!!) and got a pair of second hand 8040B’s. A lovely improvement in lower mid and bottom end. I was thinking of adding a sub but there’s no need at all. With the extra power these sound effortless. I’ll do a proper write up in a week or so once I’m used to them. Here's the new 8040's in place. Now I'm settled on these (!) I'll get some stands although these stools I found by the bins and painted are not too shabby. I saw a video once with Alan Shaw from Harbeth demoing a set of SLH5 on Ikea stools. Cheers
