I've narrowed my search down to these two pairs of powered monitors:
Dynaudio BM5A
Genelec 1029A
I going to be doing some acoustic instrument recording and then mostly midi, loop/sample based electronic music in a medium sized home studio with concrete walls, tile floors, 15ft wood ceilings. I'm pretty psycho about sound quality and know that these 2 brands have very high standards so I'm sure either would be a good choice. however since they are both pretty heavy and I'm not in the states, having them shipped and then returning them isn't an option. I'm hoping someone here will know how these may perform in an environment similar to mine. I've started working on some acoustic panels for the walls but I've still got a long way to go.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

I don't know what living in USA has to do with obtaining Genelecs - they are manufactured in Finland, Europe.  Anyways, I've always used Genelecs (1030 / 1031) and absolutely couldn't do without them. Haven't tried Dynaudio but I can wholeheartedly recommend Genelecs. The sound is very flat and uncoloured, very accurate - so probably not the #1 choice for those warm and tender moments in your living room but an excellent choice when you have to get some precision mixing done. You can even do without a sub with 1030s if you have your control room appropriately balanced and the acoustic environment is well desinged.
