Are Genelecs really worth it?

I recently got a pair of 8040 and they are superb. I have had Adam f5 before and they were great too, but not as good as genelec. The Adam has a really special sound because of that tweeter, but the genelec are little more coherent and accurate, in my opinion.

Please advise ! (or maybe I should have a more appealing title ?)

Have you considered active speakers? Takes up less space, fewer devices needed (just a streamer!), and if you go with eg Genelec you’ll get god tier sound and very flat/neutral frequency response, used in countless pro studios and works excellent for home/hi-fi listening as well. If you want to avoi
