Creek is also similar. Sometimes I think you spend more to just have a clean volume control and then wind up adjusting the tone with cables when simple room treatments would do more.

I'm not personally familiar enough to comment, but I've always heard good reports.....
I can tell you my LEAST favorite studio monitors, as far as the mid- and high-end stuff, are the Genelecs. At least for rock, I don't like them at all... They are very popular and a lot of studios have them, but to me they are very "soft" sounding, for lack of a better word. Very clean and open sounding, but no punch, no impact. They are probably great for referencing classical, new age, maybe jazz..... But that's not what I do. For rock, they just seem to lack a lot of "oomph".
