So I spent 2014 putting together a great home studio which gets me GREAT RESULTS. The plan was to get a vocal chain that would the end all for me, which now consists of a Mojave ma200, Great River me1nv, and an Avalon into a Steinberg Ur824. The plan was to get great takes here then send off my tracks to get mixed and mastered elsewhere, so I grabbed a pair of HS7's and figured it would be enough, and it was.
The problem is that I've sent my tracks to two different studios and it seems like I end up preferring my mix to theirs. They definitely clean it up, and do a way better master than I ever could, but my vocals always seem boring vs my own vocal mix.
So I'm going to move really soon and decided that I'd like to invest in a GREAT monitor room to do my own mixes and just have the other guy master it when I'm done. I have about $700 in GIK Acoustic panels and will probably spend a bit more once I'm set up.
I'm going to eventually upgrade the HS7s into maybe some Genelecs down the line; bigger speakers which will be a bit distanced from me for a loud reference mix. First though, I'm going to invest in some nearfields and really don't know which way to go here. I'm looking at smaller monitors, maybe some CMS40's or Adam A3Xs, but I'm really not sure if I should be going bigger(cms50/a5x/some other candidate) but these are going to act as my main critical monitors with the big boys being my reference. That said, I'm looking for recommendations. I do 90% hip hop music, and I know bass is a big deal in the genre, but, that would be more addressed in my future Genelec set.
All advice would be helpful, thanks!!

Torn between the best nearfield monitors
