I use the Alesis M1Actives, picked them up for $475 US.  I think that for 
the price you can't get a better pair of actives, and I personally love 
them.  Only thing I've heard better for under $2k are those HR824's, but 
as you mention, pretty expensive.

Good monitors are definitely one of the thing you NEED to be able to hear 
what you're doing accurately.  But it's not just havig good monitors that 
makes a difference, it takes time to learn how they sound, and know how 
your mixes wil translate from those, to other speakers in the real world. 
If you get new monitors, be sure to spend some time listening to your 
favorite CDs on them, so that you really learn how accurate they sound.

I'm looking to get some good monitors for my setup.  I've been using 
crappy stuff for a long time.  While I'd really like to get a pair 
of Mackies or Event's, I won't be able to afford it.
