razor, don't get caught up in this notion of bigger is always better, more expensive always sounds better. I can name plenty of cases where this just isn't the truth. What you need to do, honestly, is start listening to this stuff in action. Go to your local hifi dealer, get some ideas in mind, start from there. Also, don't forget your local pro audio places, even Guitar Center, so you can hear different monitors in action. Most GC's stock the Tannoy's im selling, so you can hear a pair there
