Active monitors, 3k used, great nearfield sound


I currently use Mackie HR 824 MkII's in my computer setup. I'm basically happy with them, but have made some downstream improvements that I think could be better revealed with superior speakers.

I'm seeking quality active monitors that cost roughly 3k used, offer superior nearfield listening, and don't go all that low (I have the Mackies set for 47 Hz because the downstairs neighbors hear too much thump at 37 Hz). I prefer a slightly warm sound and certainly not anything too clinical.

Can anyone offer suggestions?

Try also Genelec 8040A (warmer than ATC but clinical). Focal Twin 6 Be (splashy and fun). JBL, KRK, Dynaudio and Adam also make good actives in this price range - so try to hear a few to see which sounds right for you.
