Beware of your room acoustics... very bassy monitors!
I'll start by saying that therse monitors are very well made. They produce A LOT of bass frequencies for their size!
My personnal needs were for some edits and pre-mixing in a home setup. Typical bed-room setup, close to a wall... I just couldn't find a good and flat sound with them, whatever the back filters I used, too much bass/boominess, strange mid resolution... For me, they didn't translate at all! ... I'm back on a pair of Yamaha HS5 and for some reasons, they sound much better for my application. Go figure...
Also, you have to 'like' the Genelec tone (yes, they have a 'tone'). I've had a few of their models in the past 20 years, and they all share the same top-end / high type of tone. You like or not... I'm past the return window now, so my pair is now for sale.

with these speakers it sound a lot more clear to produce muziek for eletronic house, its great reference makes my job easy.
I put them in the corner of my studio setup, and the features for fine tuning the sound with the regulators on the back of the speakers.
i had de subwoofer with the network cable so i could not tune the bass, i did not know that the Smart serie online works with the network cable en sound kit to adjust the volume.
So you have to make sure the subwoofer and monitor speakers are compatible.
