What's your preferred brand/type of speaker, if I may ask?
Before I switched from Genelec 1030 to 1031 for my LCR's, I auditioned the Dynaudio LYD48's. Had a couple of sound editors/mixers in the room and compare some tracks on the LYD48's and the 1031's. Funny thing was, I didn't think there was that much of a difference, to be honest. They were very, very similar. Of course, there were subtle differences. The Dynaudio fans in the room felt the Genelecs sound too harsh, the Genelec fans felt the Dynaudios sounded too 'hi-fi'. But these were two 'Nordic' brands, there might be more difference when we were to add a pair of Neumanns, JBL's, PSI's, ADAMs, Meyers, etc.
I later discussed this with another sound buddy, who essentially said: there's a great many offerings from different brands. It's basically a matter of A. budget, and B. taste. There's no real wrong choice.
And on a whole different note: many editing rooms I walked into had terrible acoustics to begin with. No matter which speaker you place in a bad room, it won't sound great. Best sound investment I ever did was room treatment.

As I said, I haven't listened to Genelec's recent offerings. I hope they have improved.
