Blue Sky Media Desk 2.1 --> Solid midrange in a convenient
sized speaker, attenuatable sub w/ built in amplifier, and
expansion slots for 5.1 satellites. Endorsed by LucasArts,
used on StarWars post production, Incredible Hulk,
TombRaider, and Finding Nemo.

$450 out the door and shocking more people arent aware of
these.

regardless, they sound amazing. Held their own against the
Mackies at a fraction of the price.

decent studio monitors should only cost you like $300

recipe for studio monitors:

1: two tin cans. bean cans are good, but not as good as
those large one with cucumbers inside.
2: twenty metres of string.
3: two needles.
4: steel wire.

Bend the steel wire into a rack that will hold the two cans.
Suspend cans on wire rack, but remember to discard the
cucumbers/beans first. When you are certain that the cans
will fit, take a break. Four hours should do. Come back and
thread each of the needles with each end of the string, and
be careful so you don´t slip on the floor: cucumbers can be
slippery and are known to be unpredictable. If you used
beans, just take everything very slow, and you should be ok.
Punch a hole in the tin cans with the needles and secure
them from the inside using the neeldes as anchors. Place the
speakers at such a distance from each other that the string
is straight. You´re all set, enjoy your studio monitors!

hifi is far far far away from monitor speakers.
