You really like those DS90s Brett? SOS gave them a right old slagging off and thats not usually like them to risk upsetting their advertisers quite so badly.

I had an idea for a script once. It's basically Jaws except when the guys in the boat are going after Jaws, they look around and there's an even bigger Jaws. The guys have to team up with Jaws to get Bigger Jaws.... I call it... Big Jaws!!!

has a shootout of powered monitors right now... liked the mackies
the best, liked the ds90s the least iirc. oriented towards recording engineers though (recording live instruments and vocals, not just synths)...

I know, that is why I mentioned the genelics. They have come down in price, so if it were a choice now, I would have just spent the extra cash and got the genelic nearfeilds and sub.

There's a great review and shootout of nearfields at http://www.prorec.com (Sorry K)
Anyways, the most important thing about monitors is that you get to know them. It can be NS10s or HR824s or a 10k pair of whatevers, but you still have to kown your speakers in your room with your ears.
Both the Event 20/20s (I use these) and the HR824s are decent speakers. IMHO, the 20/20s are a little bit hard to accurately get a feel for how much bass is in your track. A lot of people suffer from muddy mixes using 20/20s. Again, though, that comes down to knowing your monitors and how they translate to the rest of the world's listening equipment.
Good luck!
