It seems every engineer has his own favorite and you got guys mixing on Focal, ADAM, PMC, Genelec,etc.. the list is endless.

The best way is to go where they sell a bunch of monitors with a few CDs in hand and try them all out. Any advice on monitors on this forum is really useless since it really is a personal thing. Go try a bunch out at your audio store! Good luck on monitor hunting! thumbsup

In that price range I'd probably go Tannoy Precision 6D. They are very detailed speakers, have a wide sweet spot, and freq response up to 51kHz. If you can stretch your budget a bit, go Precision 8D for more volume and low end response.

Detail for days...
