I use a pair of QSC K8.2 speakers. I used to put on poles, but now as wedges, a bit behind and angled slightly towards me.

These speakers have DSP and allow to set up different configurations (live, studio, no sub, etc). Running (2) in stereo is major, IMO.

I use a great pair of Senn cans in the studio. However, the best sound I get live is when I balance all through my MTM monitors. The sound seems to balance perfectly (live) from what I hear in the studio. They also transport nicely and are lightweight.
