I use NHT Pro A-10's that I got on Ebay years ago. I've never loved
them - I bought them sound unheard - but I think they mix pretty well
and there aren't any near field monitors that I've used that I like
much better.

The A-20's are supposed to be a bit better. I found a pair on Ebay for
$750 so I suppose you might find them within your budget.

As your probably sitting right on top of your monitors make sure you
get something that people say works near field. Big studio monitors
won't do it very well.

Good luck,
