Looking for new monitors

Alright, here's the deal:

I'm going to be taking my beloved Monitor 5's into work to replace my current crappy speakers since I'm fed up of editing videos using a mixture of computer speakers and high end headphones. As such, I'll be needing to replace my speakers for my home computer system.

What I'm looking for are speakers no deeper than the Monitor 5's capable of full range response, say an +-3 db of around 40hz, images extremely well, and are not horns (klipschs near field burns holes in my ears with their treble).

Efficiency is not a major concern since they'll be used near field.

Any suggestions?

Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it.

    Haha, I was thinking about that, but I figured I'd use this as an opportunity to check out new gear ;)

    I have a pair of 5b's with the RDO's, upgraded binding post, and stands that may be coming up for sale in the near future.
    I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D
