I've been lurking for a couple of weeks and would like some gear advice. Here is my current setup:

Tascam US224
Cubasis OEM software bundled w/ Tascam
PIII 850 Laptop w/256 MB RAM
AKG C2000B
Marshall MXL V57M
SM58
SM57
502DX Harp Mic
2 ART Tube MP's
Nanoverb
V-Amp

I record primarily acoustic guitar and vocals, mostly song demos. I just had a $300 windfall and I'm wanting to buy something for the studio. Should I buy a decent vocal mic, or a small condenser for acoustic guitar? I'm also considering some studio monitors. Right now I mix mostly with headphones or my PA.

Thanks in advance.
 
First I should definetely go for some monitors before buying new mics.

The Tannoy Reveals are still rated as one of the best in their price range: I think about 600$ (am I right guys)

Yamaha has some cheaper ones(MPS 5 or something like that?), but I gues it is worth to save a little more and get those tannoys, there reviews on those Yamaja's aren't that great.
 
I've purchased a pair of M-Studiophile SP-5B for $250 at Guitar Center (when they have their Memorial Day Sale) - I think they're about $300. It works well for me since it's self-powered & doesn't take up much space on my little desk - perfect near-field monitors for a small area.
