Tcpip...You didn't mention your budget, but I highly recommend you add the Talon Khite-C to your short list. You won't believe the BIG sound that comes from these small speakers. They are FLAT to 35Hz and can produce SPL that is incredible given their size. As mentioned above, the Totem Mani-2 is also a very good monitor that produces a big sound and decent SPL.
