Help me pick a Studio Monitor setup?

[Scraggles]

Ok so they're sitting on your desk right in front of you. So definitely check out powered near-field monitors.

do you have suggestions that could keep me around the 500$ price range?

For exactly 500$ you could get a pair of Behringer Truth B3031A on amazon with a superbly flat frequency response and ribbon tweeters no less. Or Rokit 8s which I had the pleasure to work with, incredibly accurate speakers as well. Or Mackie MR8s. There are many other good options. In that price range definitely look for an 8" woofer as it'll give you that extra bass extension you'll be otherwise missing without a sub.

 

Keep in mind you'll likely need to spend a bit more for an external DAC and electrical isolation.
