I think the dynaudios and Adam A7's fall into that range. Have experience with they dynaudios ,and they are fine, fit into a small space well, good sound. I am curious to how the New Mackie 824 mkII sound.

I thought 'thou shalt not use cans for monitoring/mixing'?

Good cans are better than a bad room - usually by a lot.

Interesting. What cans would you consider 'good'?

Sorry But I disagree, I wouldn't mix just with headphones, not to mention in the long run, its harder on your ears.

I lke my HD280s, but there are lots over here:
HeadRoom - Right Between Your Ears

Look for neutral ones that are comfortable.

Make sure to check your mixes in a decent sized room on decent speakers from time to time as well.

As for listening too loud - don't do it with headphones or monitors.
