I've researched the posts and websites aplenty and most of the monitor
opinions are several years old now. I'd love to hear what people think of
the near field monitors they have been using and comparing in this price
range. Is it worth spending this amount or can I get similar results with
something like the Mackie HR824 or others in the $800-900 range. If I don't
have to spend full budget I won't.

Opinions, subjectivity, favorite lists and hidden gems all welcome.

I record and mix a wide variety of styles from pop, classical guitar, rock
and roll, children's choirs and voice work.

Thanks.
