In this press release on Tim Henson by Genelec you can see Tim and bandmate using the 8330As.

We just got a pair of 8330s, in the RAW finish, that we have out on tour with us. And it’s great because every day we are in a different area, a different room for us to write in and all we do is set up the 8330s, and then dial in the GLM, and the room gets ‘treated’ the way it needs to be, and we have an accurate, consistent monitoring area for playback. It’s just a life-saving thing. The idea is that whenever inspiration hits, we should be able to just get it out.
