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!

Mhmmm I think i've seen this question already elsewhere

Well, both are competent monitors, the 1029 really need the sub as they really lag in the bass departement to an annoying point, so you have to deal with the sub placement/balance. The new 8030 have the same problem, the 8040 are way more balanced all alone.

I really like the BM6, and given your alternative, I'd stick to Dynaudio, not that the Genelec are bad, not at all, but it'll be easier to troubleshoot for the correct positioning Now you can still lean to personal taste but the best would be to test in situ then as Gojinx pointed out.
