To answer some of those questions, :R the monitors in question are not for large scale reproduction and therefore don't have the limitations that "pro" audio has to deal with, such as a lack of sound quality. The monitors in question are from Focal,

I have some decent stuff now, but it just doesn't cut the mustard compared to the Focal Electra series, which would be the alternative. But part of the reason for the monitors is some pressure from the wife to "keep it simple", by which she means "as small as possible while still sounding good".... does that make any sense at all? lolol
hope i'm not being a pain in the neck :coocoo:
