Near field monitor advice please

You know, I just thought of them but some salk wow1 would be a good little speaker for that applicatio... check them out!

I agree with the recommendations for Salk Sound and Madisound. However, most monitors are not designed for nearfield listening. Purchase monitors from a company that is willing to help with tweeter attenuation. You can swap out the resistors yourself. Tell a rep whether you want to increase or decrease the tweeter level, and they should consult you with different resistor values to experiment with and which resistor to swap. It might be as simple as adding a shunt resistor to the crossover. In this case, you would twist some wires together if you're not comfortable with a soldering iron. 

The monitors designed for nearfield listening most likely have a flat frequency response for studio purposes, so I don't recommend pro-gear for daily listening. 

Check out the offerings from Taylor Speakers and Selah Audio. Taylor Speakers makes cabinets for kits available on Madisound. Rick Craig from Selah Audio sells monitors of his own designs. He might be able to tweak the crossover for nearfield listening. He's very knowledgeable, and his customer service is excellent. I recommend that you have a conversation with him. 

How handy are you in the DIY realm? The Satori Ara 2-way speaker kit can be purchased with beautiful prefabricated cabinets addressing time alignment, diffraction, and standing waves. The entire kit can be purchased with upgraded Beryllium tweeters for under $2k. 

I forgot to mention the Carrera speaker kit from Meniscus Audio. It uses the Hiquphon OW1 tweeter and the 5.5" Scanspeak Revelator woofer. This speaker falls within your budget even if you commission Taylor Speakers or Salk Sound to make the cabinets for you.

This site shows a clear image of the crossover schematics for the Carrera speakers.

Thanks guys settled on atc scm7s so far loving them!
