Monitor or fullrange ?

Hi, I listen to Jazz and Big band mostly and have my speakers about 9' from my sitting position. I am using Infinity RSIII speakers with a Soundcraftsmen ma5002 amp and Foreplay preamp. This set up has much more power then I need and the VU meters do not even move at my comfort level. ( also own a ma250 McIntosh and def tech 15" sub with crossover and internal amp ). I am intersted in used monitors for around $500 and would like some feedback from my friends here on heading in this direction. Thanks for any help,

For about $600 (just slightly more than your budget) the Platinum Audio Solo loudspeakers are definitely worth considering. This is one great, and formerly expensive, speaker whose used price fell to earth, but with performance still up in the heavens.
If you can afford to move right now, there has been an Audiogon ad for Green Mountain Europas for $650.
Both of these speakers are amazing, and well worth the stretching needed to afford them.
