Why would you want 2 pairs?

Could probably pick up some Event 20/20s for a similar price.

I'm using them and they're good bang for the buck and worth the money in comparison to competitors in the price range, something to tie you over. But you also gotta take into consideration how big is your studio and if they gonna be enough power. You could get pair of krk rp5 and KRK RP10S Rokit Powered 10" Subwoofer if ya into really deep low end factor. Most pro studios use at least 2 pairs of reference monitors, you could always get something better later down the road and have the rp5 as your second pair reference monitors. But if money is not an issue why not get something better that will last your for years without need of upgrading.

before making a decision I recommend a trip to local music store with your own music and test them out for yourself.

yep, agreed. monitors are a very personal decision. what works for the next man might not work for you.
