Just use headphones. I bought monitors (M-Audio Studiophile BX8) a few years back but found monitors rather unworkable with acoustics of my room (the typical acoustics most peoples rooms will have) and near field monitoring seemed odd. Sometimes I would check out recordings on my home stereo system but eventually I settled on strictly using headphones (which is how most people listen to stuff these days anyway). I just record solo guitar. YMMV
