Brutally honest. I've got PS6s and I can't get away with anything.

this might be a bit cheaper, but I think the yamaha msp5 sounds great.

Wharfedale 8.2a.. There was a hugge thread about how wonderful these speakers are. Lots of people said that these speakers could rival the Mackie 824s.

I just bought a pair today for around $300 over the KRK RP8's and the Beri 8" Truths.

Yesterday actually I just bought a pair of Yamaha HS50M's. $399 for the pair. They sound excellent. Flat response, loud, and they have a bunch of settings you can change on the back(hi res, mid res, low res, room control). They only have 5 inch cones, but for me that's fine. =)

Take care,
Adam.

NS10s are pretty much considered to be poop. They were very consistent poop, and thus useful for engineers who had to work at different facilities.

I have to disagree here... Maybe me, and a LOT of high level engineers...
