Genelec is in the top tier of the neutral well engineered speakers, but not the only one. Neumann, JBL, Kef, Kii Audio, Revel and a few others play in the same league where differences are more of subjective and practical value, than clear objective differences that matter. There is a lot of (subjective) favorism here for Genelec altough, but that is not important, as they are great speakers show measurements. The styling is also a factor, at least for some (some love it, others hate it).
I prefer Neumann, i like them more for long listening sessions (because Genelec give me ear fatigue). But again, at this quality level, the difference is subjective. If you want Genelec, buy it. You will get very good speakers, and if you're not sensitive to ear fatigue like i am, you won't have the problems with Genelec that i have. Just don't assume that Genelec is the only one, there is more (see above) that is as good objectivly.
