I would have to disagree with you here. Bose is overpriced and poor quality.
Remember, you dont necessarily have to get a pair of designated "studio monitors" if you want good sounding, flat, neutral and transparent speakers.
I recently purchased a new pair of speakers that I use for casual listening and studio monitoring (for producing tracks). It was a hard decision, but in conclusion, I discovered that buying a pair of audiophile speakers was a better way to go than buying a pair of "monitors".
I ended up with a pair of Axiom M22ti's. With a price tag of $550 CND, they have ALOT higher preformance than monitors at that price (eg M-Audio Studiophile BX5). Heck, these speakers have alot higher performance than monitors costing $1000. The clarity and neutrality achieved by the M22's is unparelled by any speaker I have heard under 1,000. But then, they arnt powered monitors, so you will need a decent amp to run them, about 100w per channel should suffice. They also require a sub to sound good, but so do any bookshelf speakers this size.

The M22ti's are extremely neutral and uncolored--possibly the most transparent speaker available anywhere near its price. It's even more neutral than the more expensive Paradigm Reference Studio 20, which, although very close to the M22ti, still has a slight hump in the 100 - 200 Hz region.
It's my experience over the years that some domestic speakers like the M22ti are far more neutral and accurate than some of the "professional" studio monitors, whose frequency responses are quite wonky.
