Tight accurate midfield monitor pair suggestions


I know this isnt a studio site, but thought I'd pick your collective experienced brains.
I have a home studio built from the ground up and the business is going well. My nearfields...
I have a pair of Adams 2.5A and Yamaha NS-10s, dynaudio 1.3 SEs

Now I'm looking for a good accurate passive midfield monitor.
I have a Jeff Rowland model 5 amp. Ther room is well treated.
Currently Im using B&W 805s, but find these are just too smeared. Sound great, but for mixing it needs to be tighter and more accurate esp in the low mids - lows. Bass needs to be focused. Low mids accurate. revealing and open, detailed in the mids. Quite honestly, for mixing purposes the highs dont have to be all that, just not fatiguing

i prefer monitor style cabs just because the set-up, but if you have floor model in mind, polease speak up.

Price range up to $3000

thank you in advance

Just a comment to add some perspective. In looking through the national yellow pages on-line, there are 8,444 commercially available recording studios listed in the United States. (With no shortage of the listings claiming they are "state of the art.")

You're going to be able to find pretty much any brand of speaker you can think of in use. And, every brand is going to have its fans and detractors.

You didn't mention your volume need. You've got plenty of power with the Rowland, but some speakers are better fits if you want to mix at a 95 or 100 dB average level and still have room left for peaks.

Besides volume, another factor you didn't mention in your post was whether you are mixing mostly amplified/processed music or primarily acoustic. While some studios take whatever walks in the door, others do concentrate on certain types of music.

One last question, any reason you consider the Dynaudios to be nearfield only?
