yeah and don´t let you fool from monitors that sound too pleasing or very big with lots of bass that sounds very impressive - that will only lead you to mix with either too much or too little bass depending on your room. a monitor shall not sound "good" it shall sound as accurate as possible and not change the source sound in any way. if possible take a reference cd with some songs you know inside out and have heard on many different systems from kitchen radios to club systems and the listen how different the monitors in the shop present those tracks. but be aware of the positioning of the speakers in the shop, and always insist that the salesman set the room adjustment switches on the monitors to flat before the listening session - some try to trick you on that because they want to sell a certain pair of monitors.
and the best option is to really try those monitors at your place and with your reference tracks and your own material.
if you mix a lot of vocal critical material also a smaller woofer like 7 or 6.5 inch is better than an 8inch, because due to the lower mass of the speaker cone it can move a fraction faster wich is important for the accuracy of the transients - 8inch woofers just move some more air and can go a bit lower, but that deep bass area is not trustable in an untreated room anyways.
