that is why I try to find something that most people seem to like and
then when I plug them in, I play a known source through them before I
start working to sort of set my ears. If I know what is missing or
boosted, I just compensate for that. Its a lot cheaper then fixing
everything there is to fix and it works well enough for my taste.

+1 on the JBL and the Tannoy.
I would have suggested them but I assumed they were too big.

There's always one in the crowd

I have to make it a point to hear the KH line because so many
people rave about them. I've never heard them.

I jokingly call them the "Reaper" of the monitor world because of
the passionate following.

As Scott already pointed out they are a restricted in the bass. The
company specs say the low cutoff is 93Hz, but my ears tell me different.
I use a pair of subs in my set up to add the bottom end.

I have these little Audix powered speakers in my bedroom. Fairly
surprised my mixes come out okay using them. A little to bassy in the
mixes because the bass doesn't develop at close range. But I can
compensate for that.

Those are actually 8" and change across... I had
read a constraint of 8".

If budget was not a large concern I would have mentioned the small
PMCs. Probably the most impressive low end of anything that small.

Dimensions of the JBL 2325p (which are quite a bit smaller than the
2328p) are as follows:

7.38" W x 11.75" H x 9.63" D
