If you're buying high end then it's going to sound good, period.
At the high end the only real difference generally comes down to personal preference. See if you can listen to competing models before you buy.
If it's top of the line you want, go for Mackie.
Preferred the HR-series, but the MR series are great too!

But he said he was going for the top of the line.

Well the HR-24's are ment to be the industry standard in the drum and bass scene, so you would expect they are pretty decent I still havent got a chance to listen to them yet
You cant beat actually going to listen to the speakers though, theres no one single brand thats the "best" as everyone has their own opinion on what sounds better.

if you pair the speakers up with a powered sub, i'd say you're better off just going with 6's or even 5's on top. you'll be applying the cutoff to 120 hz down anyway, and most monitor series give you the same hf driver on all sizes.
If you're just using two main monitors, go 8"
just got some warfedale 8.1's down from £300 to £150 there 8 inch and very nice sound, active, if your in the U.K. there on HTFR a bargin atm

thanks for all your input dudes
im leanin towards the 8" but im thinking there may be a bit bassy. the reason i am saying this is im moving house to the sunny Gold Coast (w00t, love that place!) and we will be moving into an apartment/town house so im a little worried about noise etc. so i was looking at getting 6's for this reason
