I am now looking into monitors - I have a reasonably small room, and 95% of all that I record in there will not be bass heavy (mostly solo and duo guitar tracks) - I am looking into monitors. I am leaning very heavily towards the Yamaha HS50, and I have also checked out the KRK (5s and 6s) - just open for ideas in the proce range of these two. Thanks.

I couldn't really say on the Yamahas, but literally all I've ever heard about the KRKs is good. For $300 or less, I've heard they're the best you can get for your money. So personally, I'd suggest those.
Totally wut he said... u totally need a tuned room first...
I love my Alesis M1 Active 520's. They are active monitors that have a beautiful, rich, flat frequency response. I use a wal-mart bought sub woofer to support the low end a bit more but if you do this calibrate the subwoofer by playing some pink noise thru a condesnor mic and you're good to go. The worry there is that you may provide too much low end support monitoring so you're mixes will lack the low end. But I love my 520's.
