Another vote for the M1 Active MK2s, much better than the more recent models to my ears anyways...

Love the look of the sinn7's but for the same sort of price as the 6.5" cone'd alesis's you can only get the 5" sinn's.

And not 5" for drum and bass unless you intend to position them in a corner or something where the bass will build up
