Near field monitoring speakers...either powered or unpowered. What's a great speaker in the $400 or less per pair range?

For my home recording studio I did a study a few years ago and I went with the Yamaha HS-5 speakers. They have served me well. The reputation the Yamaha line had (and I suspect Yamaha encouraged people to buy into the reputation) is that you have to work on your mix. When you can make it sound right on the Yamahas, it will sound good on anything.
Take that advice to be worth at least as much as you just paid me for it.
They have worked well for my purposes. No technical issues. In a station setting where users may be people who see themselves as being 'the next Dick Clark' or something.... they may like monitors with more color that favors some types of music.

Any Yamaha studio monitors.
Could you elaborate more on what you will be using these speakers for.

For now I recommend these JBL LSR305 monitors
Great "utility" monitor speakers for a home studio, or production or on-air at a station. Can take a lot of abuse from staff without self destructing, whereas i've always found the Yamahas to be slightly fragile to being overdriven.

The LSR305's look interesting. Wonder if there is a non-powered version? Home studio but wanting very accurate/flat sound with no coloration. Anyone have a freq response graph on this model or at least a +/- db rating to go with the freq response spec?
Frequency response is +/- 3db for most JBL pro speakers. I believe its measured at 1.5 meters for their monitors. You will grin when you hear the low end on these monitors.
I look forward to that Fieldtech1...order placed and thanks for the tip
For the record, I did grin when I heard the remarkable low end from these speakers. A great choice and I thank you for the excellent suggestion.
