Thankyou - thankyou - thankyou. 1030's are the best nearfield monitors (I think) in the free world. A little out of your price range however. Before my 1030's i had a pair of tannoy reveals and yes they sound beautiful. For your amount of money I wold get these in active or get some Yorkvilles. I dont know what there called but they rock and their newish. The problem with the less expensive monitors is that you may not be getting a true representation of the sound. Sure the tannoys sounded amazing (mabee even better than my Gennelec's) but when I play my tracks on another pair of spaekers it sounds well.... SHIT! Good sounding speakers may not be the answer. Flat sounding speakers are! Now that I think about it for your price range actually try picking up a pair of Yamaha NS-10's. They would probably have to be second hand by now but they are found in top recording studios throughout the world!
