Build some bass traps. Or, buy some here: http://www.realtraps.com/
That should be your first order of business.

A cheap set of monitors in a treated room will sound better & let you mix more accurately than an expensive set in an untreated room.

well put oz, so true.
i just built bass traps out of 4"mineral fiber board and some fabric and they work really good. four traps, about $60.00 and as good as any auralex. alot of the companies do the same thing. owens corning 705 or 703 wrapped in fabric. then they charge a ton. you can diy fo alot less. but yeah treating your room should be first order of business so when you audition monitors you can choose more wisely.

I like the Dynaudio BM5's but a friend of mine uses the Wharfedale's and he said that even though they have an exagerrated bass response as long as you don't have them close to a wall and turn the bass filter switch on they are pretty good and affordable.

whilst on the topic, a mate of mine is just getting into recording and wants to know the best monitors for around the £100 tag. Any suggestions?
