I'm using Genelec 8020As, and they're great but really not transparent.
They clearly miss some basses (and subs, of course), and they're a bit
too bright (which, in some way, allows to work on details on those
frequencey ranges).
By the way, knowing this, you can work with them, but it's better to
have some other kits to compare.
I think your choice is cool.
