I don't have much experience, but when I was looking for a pair of monitors, and trying to keep in the under $500 range I ended up with Equator D5's ($400 with pads, cables, and carrying case a few years ago and they have updated the design recently). I listened to what was available at stores, and did buy/return a pair before I got the D5's and I've been very pleased with them. They seem to have very good detail, clarity and imaging (but I'm not familiar with any high end monitors so I can't judge against the D5's against that range of monitoring gear). In general I like smaller speakers (5" or 6") for acoustic guitar and vocal playback. Prior to the Equators I had Event TR5's.
