They were Genelec near-field monitors.

I can't fill in the detail you request because I didn't discuss it with them. I can tell you that the room acoustic of the space wasn't playing any discernible role in what was heard in the sweet spot of the near-field setup.

However, I think most people would think they WERE hearing the auditorium sound system because the spatial illusion was VERY potent with those monitors (in the sweet spot, of course.) I was quite surprised, in fact.
