Monitor help.. I know I iknow... lots of threads


I just moved from a house to a small condo.. I sold my vandy iice's because they were too big for my main living area. Now I want some monitors for my new room which is about 12x20 with a slanted vault connected to the kitchen and dining room.. a mess.
Anywho.. not much of a budget Im looking at $500 or so right now for just the monitors and a sub later on.. Pass labs Aleph 3 and an Onix xcd88 run thru an old Eico tube pre amp...
So, what I want are airy light highs with lots of definition.. shimmering cymbals.. but not fatiguing at..it seems to me every monitor review I read does mids just fine so Im not worried about that. Bass is not gonna happen in my budget. Am I gonna find something in my range if I give up bass?

Two suggestions:

If you can find a pair of Ascend Acoustics Sierra 1s used or when Sierra runs one of its sales. I have used these for several months now and they offer all that you are looking for plus bass.

I have not heard these speakers, but have owned Omega speakers in the past. I am sorely tempted to pull the trigger and purchase Hoyt Bedford speakers .
