Near-field Monitors - Suggestions???, Looking to buy in $1000-$1500 range Options

[mixfisto]

Hi folks, I will be buying a pair of studio monitors in the next few weeks and am requesting some advise. I know that I must spend some time doing some critical listening, etc... but wanted a good place to start. I will be using them primarily for mixing, but will also be tracking/writing/arranging as well. I plan on keeping these for a few years while the rest of my studio grows around them.
Can you please let me hear some of your praises... and also some of your warnings???
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks!!!

hye,

For a nearfield monitor at first price with acceptable quality you've got yamaha msp5 (they are really good for the medium and high ferq) that you will can upgrade with a sub unit because the frequency response is not very low so you can combine them with a good headphone like sony mdr 7506 to controlling the bass and the sub. In the same class you can try the little dynaudio which are very good to. If you got more money let's take some mackie hr824 they are the best for quality/price/ performance and options(i've got a pair combined with ns10 yam). And because there are some nice french brand in audio pro industry try to hear the focal sm serie. Oh don't forget the genelec they are very precise but not very neutral in the high frequency.

A bientot.
