For low price-monitors it's all about the Event, I've seen those speakers in a lot of high end studios around the place, places that could afford to spend a lot more money.
Tannoy Reveals are supposed to be good if you can find them ( e-bay? )

Also for those of you looking for a (much) more expensive solution should check the K+H 0300d's ( for nearfields )
For main monitors I would recommend the old Tannoy DMT12's , nothing better in my opinion at the current ( used ) prices, you'll need an amp though, and I would say the Bryston 4B is a perfect match

These "high-end" studios usually have 3-5 different pairs of near/mid-field's setup for referencing.

yeah, I've had some tapcos for the last month or two.. very impressed so far, although my room needs some significant bass trapping setup!
I got the s8's though.. ; )

I've got the Dynaudio BM's which I've owned for about 3 1/2 years now, and really like them. I've used the larger active BM15's before and they kick ass.
If and when I upgrade I think I'd go for the Mackie 824's (due to their excellent bass representation, down to 40hz) or a pair of Event Precision 8 Active's (35 Hz-20 kHz response - perfect for getting those low frequencies right first time).
Much better to have good low end rep on active monitors alone rather than being distracted by a sub woofer's enhancement.

If you can find a pair i'd recommend KRK Rokit RP-8's. They are now like unicorn turds but for under £400 they are the absolute dogs bollox. hunt for em geez, well worth it.
