Default Nearfield Monitors - A Survey

What do you use?

If you had your choice, would you stick with what you have or get something else? what would you get?

Thanks...
Just trying to get some ideas for my next purchase and looking for new models to research, i guess.

Mackie HR824. Very pleased with them and they're reasonably priced.

guess im an "old timer"

I only own one pair, NS10's in addition to a handful of replacement drivers

Allthough I do like Dynaudio's, my success has always revolved around NS10M's

Boring huh?

Paradigm Active 40's

Great monitors, I like the Dynaudio's too but they are a lot more money.

How Much Do each of these Mon's Go for??

Does anyone use EQ??--Dual 31 bands??

Do you hang them??--(No console reflection)

How close do you have them to your ears??

I own the Alesis M1's. $600Pr.

I will add a sub soon, but the way they sit, my low end is dubious, at best. High end is good, but I still have to A/B with 4 other sources to find the "final" mix's and sounds.....
