If you're just looking for playback speakers, try not to spend too much money on "reference" monitors, which are generally flat freq response and used for mixing and mastering in an isolated environment, and generally cost a lot more if they're marketed as such.

If you're just looking for something that sounds good for playback and maybe monitoring at a live gig, go to a local store and see if you can audition some speakers with good amps in them that can drive the kind of volume you're looking for without sacrificing quality or screeching your ears out. It really all depends on your application of it that will prompt the appropriate considerations.

I'm not sure what you're planning to actually do with the monitors and what your situation is, so that's the best I can offer.
