I have 824, but in the same league you have the Dynaudio BM6A, the Genelec 8040… all close but different. And I have a soft spot for ADAM speakers (monitoring and mastering) but they have a stratospheric high that is not suited for everyone (you are not used to hear what's going on that fast on transients up to 37 KHz).

M-audios sound really hi-fi , they are rather computer/hifi speakers sold as monitors. the Samson resolv, or the Tannoy reveal A for example are more serious.

If abbey road have Nautilus, it's because they are common on high end mastering if I remember correctly. But here we are a little over the edge don't we wink.gif laugh.gif

Note there are lot of cool monitors, the point is to find one not too flattering you relate to and KNOW it (and compatible with your wallet wink.gif Check the Event or the Yamaha for example too…
