If you’re looking for your first set or a new set of home studio monitors, I recommend going with either the Mackie MR5 Active Studio Monitors or the KRK Rokit Powered 6 Generation 2 Studio Monitors. Both are around 100watts per monitor, both are active, and both will rock for all of your new recordings.
Mackie is known for their excellent studio monitors and MR5′s are no exception. One great feature of the MR5′s is the ability to adjust the hi and low frequencies to compensate for different room variations.
Street Price: $360.00 (pair)
Power: 85 Watts (per monitor)
Woofer: 5″
State: Active

The KRK RPG2 studio monitors feature a front firing port. By distributing the airflow of the speakers forward you don’t have to worry about the walls behind the monitors causing inaccurate bass response.
