Subject: studio monitors

Hi all!

I realize this has been covered in the past, but I wanted some
subjective input on studio monitors. I had been cosidering a pair of
large JBL's (4311's or L55's)to ensure solid bottom end-especially
when listening to my MOTM! While saving for the big speakers, I
refurbished an old pair of AR's with new drivers and crossovers. I'm
very pleased with the results and am now considering going with a
decent subwoofer/amplifier/active crossover. Before I do, what are
the pros and cons that the group would share? Even though the ear
can't detect direction much below 400Hz, is there a perceived imaging
problem when you mix (or just listen to your new groovy patch)? Am I
just too 70's? What?

ps-and why are these hip huggers so tight?
