Powered Reference Monitors?
Any recommendations?
I used to own these
http://www.fruity-loops.com/store/produ ... -8BK&nav=m
However the powered side got a nice cold glass of beer dumped on it so I'm shopping around.
I'm looking into these:
http://www.krksys.com/v3/rokit_rp5.asp
http://www.zzounds.com/item--BEHB2031A
Both of em look ok and are probably better than what I have. Any ideas or feedback?

Choose a few of your favourite CD's and any music you've been working on. Then, go to your local gear pushers on a quiet afternoon or evening and listen to all the monitors that they have, including ones that are below and above your price range to get a better perspective. Don't forget to think about how you'll feel after listening to the same ones for hours on end - some that sound initially great start to wear you down after a long period of time.
Take everything anyone tells you online about them with a pinch of salt. Whilst it may be right for them it may not be right for you - trust your own ears. Admittedly you get special cases like NS10M's. While they're not the best, they pretty 'standard' because they're so widely used people know what to expect them to sound like.
Good luck!

P.S. Having said ignore what people suggest, I found Alesis Monitor 1 Active MkII's to be superb for their budget price range and blow away several noticably more expensive units...
