I have a pair of Tannoy Reveal available for abour 500 Euros (approx. 
700 USD). They are active and provide a solid, sober sound, up to 
mid/higher loudness levels. The only issue to me: they are a bit too 
sober. My first mixes with them tend to sound overdone especially in the 
higher ferquencies if played on common Hifi-equipment.

Well OK, the Tannoys are not the smallest speakers imaginable. But they 
sound even bigger than they are and in the end I always found enough 
space to mount them. Since they are active you also do not need to 
provide space for a usable amp...

As of now I have them in about 1.2 meters from my head while sitting in 
front of the screen.
