Help choosing monitors

I am looking to purchase a decent pair of studio monitors in the new year for use with DJ'ing and producing. Can anybody recommend good makes / models from experience, or provide links to decent online reviews? Im already doing my research but dont really know where to start.
My aim is for moderate - high end, with costs being secondary to quality. I am currently using standard speakers, but have a 15" car sub which is VERY loud and covers the sub low frequencies well, and I need the monitors for clearer sound of the mids and treble.
Cheers,
lkewis

Perhaps some other meat product would be appropriate. Gammontoucher? Vealtoucher?

welcome to the forum mate.
I'm no expert and I certainly don't have good monitors myself, But spending money on high end monitors and then ruining them with a 15" car sub that's just going to make random earthquake noises is not a good idea IMO. Every 15" car sub I've ever heard is clearly designed to make predestrians stop and look around, not acuratly replicate bass. Maybe you've got some crazy high end sub that's worth shitloads and actually is quality though! do you?

You haven't lived.
Served with either a fried egg or pineapple ring on top, with chips (big, meaty chips, not fries) or mashed potato, usually with peas as well. Along with Shepherd's pie, a ploughman's, and a beef hotpot, gammon steaks are the kind of food you can expect to be served in
any pub older than 20 years in the whole of Britain.
And this guy just touched one.
