I first purchased a pair of absolute 2's for my studio, they were very loud, especially in the bass region where they seemed to be slightly coloured. I asked a few producers in the scene and they said to stay away from them for this very reason. :dontevengothere:
I would suggest Fostex Pm1's. I got a pair of these and they are wicked, they give out a natural sound and the frequency response is excellent.
