I've heard the Alesis M1 MkII are too bassy but I'm still not totally turned

These days anything cheap often seems to be popular. g

Some people I've spoken to like the Behringers but more people are adamant I
should totally disregard them.

See above. At some point even cheap isn't enough.

The Samson Resolve 65A have had a luke warm reception.

Not many people have heard the Wharfedales and those that have are telling
me they sound more 'hi-fi' than studio.

What does this mean? That Scott Fraser shouldn't mix on KEF's or
whatever other hi-fi speakers he uses to do great work? Don't let
comments like that keep you from giving a listen.

No one has said anything bad or too amazing about the Events.

Kind of a non-event.

The KRK RP5 is a bit small and the RP6 is a bit pricey.
The monitors that have been most recommended are the Fostex ones. They have
5'' woofers and the PM1 (with 6.5'') are too pricey for me.

It's a shame I can't get the Yorkvilles and that something doesn't stand out
like they seem to in my price range.

Tried Tannoy Reveals?
