Monsoons: I have MM-2000's, the four channel model, which has a better woofer than the two channel MM-1000. Also some of the smaller ones which use a cone mid and aren't as good. I love them, and you might be able to pick up a pair on Ebay, but keep in mind that these are getting on in years and the plating on the neodynium magnets can start to flake, which causes buzzing. If you do a search, you'll find various articles on replacing them. Also, on the 1000's, the volume control pucks tend to die with age, though there are various fixes and workarounds. So -- I'd say Monsoons if you're on a budget and can do some fixing up if necessary (or don't mind the occasional buzzing on loud piano notes, that sort of thing).
