Tight accurate midfield monitor pair suggestions

ATC SCM 20 - based on your description this is exactly what you need - used by Telarc and countless other studios. They have enough SPL to do midfield.

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?

Merlin TSMs are very accurate. Search the archives.

thanks everyone so far!
Answers to Mlsstl:
Volume is not a premium. I dont mix at high volumes, and although I dont know exactly the dB at midfield listening, I can casually talk without having to raise my voice at all to talk to the clients while listening at 10-12 ft in front of the speakers.
I have done a large mix of clinets, pretty much everything except the new electrona or rap. Much of the music naurally veers towards rock. So the vital area is the size and presence of the kick, and the accuracy of the bass, and the seperation between the two.
Good question re the dynaudios. Ive used them in my nearfield array for 5 years now, so I'm very comfortable with them there. Ive thought of moving them for a day or 2, maybe I'll do that today.
Again, thanks for evryones time

I can casually talk without having to raise my voice at all to talk to the clients while listening at 10-12 ft in front of the speakers.

At 12 feet back you lose 12 db. Asuuming you want at least 10 db of headroom then you are going to need a decent speaker, preferably with a pro woofer that does not badly compress when driven hard.

If you are judging rock at normal conversation level with your clients then this might be a bit too low a level for bass checks - you'll end up with overly bass heavy mixes unless you can adjust for it in your mind.

You want a speaker with a wide sweetspot and NOT a narrow dispersion monitor like a Dynaudio nearfield.

ATC will do the trick for you - will give a very large sweetspot for you and your clients. A larger Dynaudio or Merlin would work also but you said you don't want a floorstander - so I would not go that way....besides you have three near-fields already.

I'd also seriously consider adding a good tight subwoofer like JL F113 and have everything in room calibrated with a measurement microphone - see my virtual system for calibration plots.
