gene4lec 1029s are ok - clear but a bit harsh - with sub bass difficult to get balance right

I've got alesis MK2 actives at home and they are brilliant for the money - maybe a little bass heavy but you can plug a port in each speaker and jobs a guddun

have got hhb circle 5s at studio and they rock totally but are more expensive than MK2s

i'd say go for mk 2s and get used to them - play loads of familiar records thru them and you'll soon get accustomed to their bass response
