This is a very close resemblence to the design of our studio. Of course the room was designed to reject any standing waves. We use Altec Gauss custom monitors utilizing 2 15's and a horn in each cabinet.Keep in mind that you must tune your monitors flat with an RTA and good EQ's. It can be a long process but the end product is well worth it. When tuning your mains, make sure that there are no weak links in the chain from your desk to the mains. If it requires beefing up the desk... do it! EQ's... do it! We use 2 Urei 31 band eq's and they have been modified
However, We mostly depend on our nearfields more than our mains as of late.
Prior to the shift from mains to nearfields, I used the mains for getting the drums and bass happening and then shifted to my nearfields for everything else.
As far as what to buy. I'm a die hard JBL fan and alway will be after learning their sound and how to mix on them. I have heard alot of complaints about UREI 813's. Tannoy is a good choice.
Good luck and Happy Holidays
