Hello! What a great welcome for my first witterings in Frost Land. Thanks a lot for that.
I've looked at the AE22s (very nice) and I do quite a bit of late night work on DT100s (they're good, but they can fool you as much as any other) but mostly I've been reading up after MarkOne's info on small monitors - it seems whilst they're far from perfect, these NS10s are what many people have already turned to, at least as a reference against something else and in the realm of small boxes they are as "flat" as anyone has come up with.
I read a very illuminating bit in SoundonSound following NS10s' 20th anniversary in '08, http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/sep08/a ... hans10.htm
particularly mentioning some reflex-loading experiment designed to lift the bottom end response, but at the expense of the tripling the Group Delay. Naturally I'd never heard of such a thing, but basically, "here's all the 60Hz response you want, sadly, it arrives 11ms after the rest of the band..."
At this point I gave up, routed the studio output through to all the hifis in the house via the Sonos wifi system and am currently running back and forth, cross referencing on domestic systems large and small. Works a treat!
