it's OK to beg for sex, but begging for acceptance on an internet forum is shameful, even for a 37 year old.

You could check out the Tannoy Reveal monitors. They are in your price range.
Ableton’s engineers are hard
at work developing code that will allow our software to predict the future, but we don’t
anticipate having this available until at least the next major release.

I checked out the new TITBAGs everyone is raving about. They can sound nice if connected carefully, but they are not entirely linear and finding a matched pair is almost impossible. Not that you cannot work with them, but I prefer my Genelec 8040s and Gin&Tonic pre amps.

Hi,

I also intend to buy monitor speakers around the same pricerange and already went to the shops and booked time to properly listen a few models.

So from personal experience here is my preference so far: Dynaudio BM6, Adam A7, Genelec 8020. The BM6 are incredible (full, clean, balanced in the entire spectrum) but a bit more expensive. Fortunately the Adam A7 are pretty close - a bit on the mid-range of the audio spectrum but this can be a very good thing when mixing as it can help placing sounds on the canvas :). The Genelecs not bad but they are colouring the lows a bit. I also intend to listen the BM5 and the Mackie HR624 and compare them back with the Adam before I make a decision . (all in the same pricerange)

On the lower range you should check the yamaha hsm80m and the fostex pm1.
