For the money, and for the sound - I like the Reveal by Tannoy. Passive, attractive and great sounding. I also use passive because I like to mix through my stereo amp to compare the mix with "normal" consumer speakers too. That way the finished product has already been tested on the type of gear that most people have at home .... not studio monitors.
I have the Event 20/20's now, but I want to get the Tannoys as soon as I can sell these.
