FWIW, if you can find a pair of Celestion 3's, they are about as accurate and non fatiguing as a small speaker gets. A friend of mine is a recording engineer and that is what he uses.

Hey Chuck,
I think your experience is pretty typical. Studio monitors are supposed to show all the details - good and bad. Although the D5s aren't the equivalent of the very top of the line monitors, they perform very well for their intended use. I feel like my recordings get a better, more accurate mix since I got them. I think most home studios would find they produce a very usable sound and represent a pretty good value. Glad you found some gear that works for you. JStotes

Congrats Chuck. Your mixing should be easier and turn out better with the monitors. I am really enjoying my monitors and I wish I had gotten them before I mixed my first two CD's. It took me so long to mix and master because I didn't have a decent set of monitors.
I really like them also for listening to tracks so I can pick out the parts and learn to play them and also to play along with tracks.

Difficult at that price point... buy used. Tannoy Reveals maybe? They are difficult to read in the low end, but their mid and mights are great for the money.
I use Dynaudio BM5a which I really like but those are well above your budget.
