Thanks for all of the suggestions. I definately plan to listen around and take three sets home for some real-life auditioning.

JCD - I looked up the Mackies and they are very intriguing. I was wondering what kinds of speakers the pros use as a reference. I'm definately going to look further into that. Maybe I can fix them up with a homemade grille.

I'll keep you all posted. I'm aware of a couple of places in town where I can hear B&W and Paradigm. I'll have to research the rest. This will be fun.
