Hey there is a killer deal on a pair of M-Audio BX5a Deluxe's at audiomidi.com. They are b-stock (mostly just open box) and going for $199. I paid $300 for mine and they've served me very well for a 5" driver (kevlar).

I use a set of these speakers from MCM Electronics for my ZR76 synth:

Very nice high and low end sound, and very durable too.

My monitors: KRK Rokit 6 G2 (around 500-600$)
My headphones: Shure SHR 440 (around 120-140$)

I recommand both for the prices and quality, but one can always go higher with money

well my room is fairly big, but i will go with the rp6s

Are Sennheiser HD-280s generally considered pretty decent for mixing? I was planning on getting mixing headphones rather than monitors since I don't want to spend a ton of money (headphones are cheaper) and will probably be moving into an apartment soon (less noise), but I already have the HD-280s and read some positive comments about them earlier in this thread. Up until now I had just thought of them as listening headphones. If they're good enough for mixing with, I might be able to go ahead and spend ~$300 on a pair of decent monitors.

Also, a friend of mine just gave me his old Alesis Monitor One reference monitors. Not the Monitor One Mk ii, I'm talking the original Monitor Ones which were apparently introduced back in the '90s and are now discontinued. Is it safe to assume those aren't even worth getting an amp for and hooking up? I did some looking around and saw some mixed comments on them, but most of the reviews I found were super old and thus likely outdated.

I have the Sennheiser HD-280's and I love them for mixing. The low end is a bit weak so anything with low bass or sub is going to be hard to pinpoint, but overall they are excellently balanced. I do a lot of mixing with them.
