Monitors for Recording Music

I'm in the market for some new monitor speakers. I don't know if anybody else on here has the hobby of making music, but I was trying to get some suggestions on good monitors for $300 and under. I figure this is a good place to ask since sound quality is appreciated on this forum.

Yamaha HS80M are what i like to work with now, they are like a more up to date version of the ns10's which are about the most famous and widely used monitors from the 80's, i even have a pair of ns10's but mine no longer work because their from the 80's haha...i have some higher end stuff but these ns80's are excellent, pricey at 350 each but you can probably find them cheaper, well worth it...

as for 300 a pair? those m-audios sound nice and the shure monitors sound nice too...check those out...

the m-audio line is pretty good if youre looking for cheap...$300/pr is not going to go that far with *good* monitors, especially if you're looking into actives.

I'd suggest saving up a little more money and tracking down a used pair of Event 20/20's

Our school has behringers in the recording studio and they sound pretty nice, not sure how much they are, just another company to look into
