Maybe I have mentioned it before, but here's another plug for the Equator D5s. 399.00 for a pair, they sound great, not hyped, and with the coax design, have very good imaging. For a 5 inch driver they have excellent bass response, and the port is on the front so there are less issues when close up to a wall.
I have no vested interest in the company, just own a pair. had them for a bit over a year and am very satisfied. The second version is out and available for shipping which improves upon the first version (although, I have no complaints about V1) 399 right now but they will go up in price.
Hey, it's worth doing a google, and they offer a 60 day return.
I know a lot of people like KRKs and they are all over youtube, but having owned a set I think they are shit. (no offense if you like them).
Lots of people like the JBLs, but too much plastic for me.
The Equators are solid and sound good. So the question is do you want a set of GOOD affordable monitors, or a set of "popular" monitors?
Enough said.
