I ended up going with a pair of Energy Veritas V2.0Ri's that I already had on hand, because comparing to everything I demoed, they were AWESOME. But if I didn't have these, and I couldn't find Event Opal monitors (arguably the best ever made, but I have been looking for 10 years and haven't seen a pair for under like $4k, they stopped making them
If you have a Guitar center near you, they have a bunch of these on display to demo, and you can bring your own source(s) too... best way to see what you like without going through buying, demoing, and returning.
This is a good deal at this price, i would buy these IMMEDIATELY for $200/pair. There's nothing this cheap that will compete with these at all. I actually have a set of presonus monitors on my desk as rinky dink gaming speakers that i absolutely love for that.
Would i use these for serious monitoring or anything? no. But these would kick ass for a bedroom or small living room vinyl setup, monster desktop speakers for gaming, bedroom DJ setup, etc.
The cheapest monitors Worth Using As Monitors are the Kali audio IN series, or yea, as someone else mentioned, the yamaha HS. Personally i find the yamahas a little "harsh" and fatiguing, but i like how you can crank them without them sounding bad.
The presonus speakers do everything the, for example, KRKs do at a price that reflects what those should actually cost. They're Fun, not super serious. And i personally think these will be just as good as any of the audioengine/etc Not Good but priced like it speakers out there. I also absolutely, without a doubt, would buy these as a first set of monitors to just make tracks in ableton/etc on. You don't need Super Good monitors for that, or even like necessarily decent ones! Pay any of the numerous sites online to master your tracks if you make something you're proud of.
For everyone asking, these do appear to be near-field as with all the presonus models i've seen so far. Only the biggest cheap monitors(IE krk rokit 10) are "midfield", at least on paper. i do believe these would perform perfectly fine in a mid-field setup as "fun" speakers though. Buy these! spend your extra money on room treatments(boxes/traps, not the stupid peel and stick foam), or even just putting a rug up on a wall and filling your room with stuff so it isn't an echo-y box.

That being said, I have two pairs of JBL 306P MKIIs -- one for my standing desk and one for my seated desk setup in my home office. Anybody know if the JBLs or PreSonus would be better? I don't do much mixing -- just general music listening (and have a big ol' subwoofer tied to it).

If you are doing this on a budget I would go to Dayton audio or a stereo boombox setup to start.
