Switch to Studio monitors?

It's been years since I've posted here. I am looking for opinions on whether to switch to studio monitors or not.

My current setup for audio is:
Proac Tablette Reference 8 Signature
Ayre AX-7e
Cambridge Audio DacMagic
Arcam CD73T CD player
MacBook Air

I'm looking at possibly downsizing the system. I don't know why, but I've been looking at studio monitors lately. Most of what I read says that studio monitors are very accurate. I'm thinking this may be the route to take considering my room is not optimal neither...no room treatments, big TV, glass table, etc.

Has anyone here switched from "hi-fi" speakers to studio monitors and if so, what are your thoughts? Good choice? Would you say it was an upgrade/downgrade? The speakers I'm considering are the Genelec 8040 or 8050. Thanks.
