Default monitors for listening

Hi guys,

I'm looking for a pair of monitors. I'm not involved in production, I
just listen and I think that pro equipment is a good deal. I like very
detailed and possibly less warm sound. In my current setup I have (well
soon will some stuff is still in the mail) Mac Book - Benchmark DAC1
- Mackie hr824s.

My room is pretty small 15x12 ft and the ceiling is 8ft. I might move
into a smaller room (12 x 9 x8) later this year. I'm working on
acoustically treating it (I dont really know what I'm doing but I'm
trying some DIY bass traps and such). Anyway I was thinking about
upgrading the Mackies, my budget is around 4k for a pair of active
monitors. I listen to mostly acoustic/classical stuff. I would like to
narrow the list down to around 3 or 4 things that I can audition. I
think my Mackies are a bit too forward and I don't think the
imaging/seperation is as good as it could be (maybe this is a room
issue, but I am addressing that).

Thanks a lot,
Kai
