Which stereo studio monitors are you using?

I am trying to find a suitable powered monitors for the Kronos.
I have tried the JBL LSR305 and didn't offer the punch and power I was looking for, so bumped up to the LSR 308 and they were much better especially for the price. But just were not cutting it. So finally bought KRK VXT 8 and using the JBL 310S of the sub.
And it's a world of a difference... HOWEVER there are some chords (mostly instrumental/orchestral sounds that have this odd unnatural harmonic distortion (at higher volumes) which is annoying.
I know the JBL LSR 6328/Focal SM9/Dynaudio BM15A would probably the perfect choice and forever speakers.
Would like to get your input and what others are using on the high end.
Thanks

I use Mackie HR824's. I run them flat and have nothing but positive for them.

I have KRK rp5 first series and they don't cut it. I do use the QSC K10 a lot they do well with the setting set to deep. I would like a sub of some sort but not a must for now. But the best sound I get form the Kronos is through my Behrdymnamics DT 880 pros 250ohm. The sound great and I can wear them for hours and hours without even noticing them. No ear fatigue or anything. But I do like the QSC almost as well.

Krk rp10-3 works great for me...
I a, pretty much convinced KRK delivers most bang for the buck

I've been looking for a new monitor. Something a bit smaller in form factor than then the Krk rp10-3.

how would they sound in a 12x20 room? They seem as if they could be a bit lacking on bass.

The bass comes out from behind (no pun intended..)
hence from 2 holes

Yamaha HS8's
I couldn't be happier.. these replaced Yahama NS10's from a long time ago.
The HS8's sound great, my Kronos never sounded better.

i'm using multiple monitors (depending on the project) but mostly the KRK VXT8 for the kronos.
