After trying them, if you think you still need a subwoofer, then I would recommend this Dayton 10" (http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshowdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=300-632) one.

those monitors look good. knowing the monitors we use at work, a subwoofer is not really needed, but i might check that out too. any other suggestions?

Some reviews of them are here (http://www.3dsoundsurge.com/reviews/SwanM200/M200.html) and here (http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/1101/swanm200.htm). You may also want to consider Cambridge Soundworks (http://www.cambridgesoundworks.com/store/category.cgi?category=spk_multimedia), but I doubt that their multi-media speakers have the accuracy that you are looking for.
