Genelec. The Graal of recording. The climax of professional stuff.
Pluses: super sturdy construction, classy design, lots of SPL
Minuses : a boomy sound, full of mid range which crash down all the rest, and price, obviously.
However, the form factor is exactly what I wanted, the overall sound quality is good (see caveat above), and especially perfect for classical music mastering.
For other type, a RTA and mini DSP to calibrate the response curve is quite useful.
As all Genelecs, pay attention to placement. this is amazing how the response curve reacts to wall proximity
