Short answer: the Genelec 8010A for accuracy, the Edifier M60 for a desktop budget. The 8010A is an extremely neutral speaker for mastering and mixing, though its bass is not as deep as the IK Multimedia iLoud Micro Monitor, and it costs $900 against $199.99. The M60’s 1” dome tweeter and 3” cone midwoofer sit in a styled cabinet with illuminated touch controls, but it trends noticeably brighter from the midrange into the treble.
Buy the Edifier M60 if the price is the priority over sound quality, or the Genelec 8010A if sound quality is the priority over the price.
