Genelec sounds good, it's precise, adaptable, but it lacks that organic naturalness and emotional three-dimensionality that I've heard in other very high-end passive systems without DSP.
Have you heard the speakers in YOUR room?
You're going off the rails if you lump the music itself in with the speakers.
Yes, music can and should give you goosebumps in some moments.
But this is only possible with loudspeakers that are capable of reproducing this emotional acoustic information as accurately as possible.
These are two different issues.
However, I completely agree with you that flawless reproduction is not only possible with Genelec loudspeakers.
Furthermore, it is nowadays possible to measure loudspeakers completely and comprehensively.
The trick is to interpret the measurements correctly.
I can do it to some extent, but not completely.
More important than the measurements, however, is the interaction of the loudspeaker with the listening room.
As I've written before, the loudspeaker and the listening room are acoustically one unit and you can't really judge them separately.
The loudspeaker, the very good loudspeaker, must also match the listening room in order to sound perfect, to be able to create goose bumps.
On the other hand, a very good passive loudspeaker can also fail completely in an unsuitable listening room.
Active DSP concepts offer more possibilities.
