Sheesh. Adding a Neumann mic into that setup is like bringing a Ferrari to a mountain bike race. What's he gonna plug it into? A MACKIE? Not to mention A/D's, outboard EQ's & dynamics, an actual decent sounding room, and a source to make the most of it. Don't be fucking retarded... The Genelecs don't get good until you're in the $3000 price range, and at that point you might as well start looking at ADAMS, which trounce the living shit out of every other monitor on the planet (IMNSHO).
Man, if you would like some *helpful* advice, look at these for monitors:
(I don't know what your budget is)
1. KRK V6's or V8's (great monitors w/excellent transient response, they easily let you hear what's wrong in a mix.)
2. HR624's or HR824's (not my favorites, but a lot of people like them, so you might, too)
3. Event Studio Precision 6's or 8's. (These sound really great, killer bass response, a very smooth, linear sound with a nice high end.)
Probably more important than the monitors you choose, however, will be the room treatment and monitor placement. Any of these monitors will do the trick (as well as lots of others), but the best monitors in the world can be ruined by careless placement in small, boxy rooms (which seems to be the trend these days with all the bedroom studios and such.) Take your time and get them placed right, and you'll be able to trust what you hear.
Good luck-
Pan
