More important than "which" monitors, is the surroundings in which they are placed.
1) Treat the "hot spots"....first order reflections (eg the first reflections of sound that reflect from any nearby surfaces)
2) Make sure your monitoring position is symmetrical either side of you, and around your monitors
3) ergonomics can sometimes force you to place your monitors in not so great positions. For best results, have them as far away from walls etc
4) Space between your monitors is important. Too wide? Your stereo image is destroyed. Too close...well, just as bad really
Also, a reputable company will allow you to "test" their monitors in YOUR environment to give them a test drive. If you cant do this, take some CD's you know well, and spend some time listening critically to different monitors.....Dont just assume that becuase Genelec is a high-profile company that their monitors will be right for you or your environment
Good luck!!!!!
