Hmmm....I'm chatting with my dad right now and he said to try Altec Lansing 621....good clarity, good power, cheap. (about 130 bux). The review I read somewhere said that while it's not a 'reference studio monitor' (d'oh!), its sound is pretty damn good that if you're just using it for 'home use' mixing- you should do just fine.

Terry- I read it somewhere you used to have this speaker?? Or anybody else??

Heck- If I get that, plus a new all-purpose/vocal mic (probably Shure SM58). I think I'll be allright.
