Dynaudio Or Genelec Monitors?, Which are the best and why? Options

[dave-g]

I've narrowed my search down to these two pairs of powered monitors:
Dynaudio BM5A
Genelec 1029A

I going to be doing some acoustic instrument recording and then mostly midi, loop/sample based electronic music in a medium sized home studio with concrete walls, tile floors, 15ft wood ceilings. I'm pretty psycho about sound quality and know that these 2 brands have very high standards so I'm sure either would be a good choice. however since they are both pretty heavy and I'm not in the states, having them shipped and then returning them isn't an option. I'm hoping someone here will know how these may perform in an environment similar to mine. I've started working on some acoustic panels for the walls but I've still got a long way to go.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

I've had the Genelecs for a few years now and have been very pleased with them-especially for mastering. I'm also orig. from the states but run a studio abroad now. You'd be amazed what your local music store can get for you, because even in small obscure countries (like the one I live in now) has both of these brands available-so my dealers were more than helpful in lending me various brands for testing. I assume you've tried your local music stores-sound companies, etc. It may be a good idea to contact the local radio or TV stations to find out where they get their gear. Hope this helps and that I haven't stated the obvious.

Good luck!!!
