King, oh King... What are we going to do...?
The point, which you COMPLETELY missed, is that your Alesis's (which are a pretty decent NS10 alternative) are VERY inexpensive, but doing a job that MUCH more expensive speakers usually are used for. All I was trying to point out was that using words like 'I don't need to hear a $200 Chinese self powered speaker to know whether it is any good' could be used for the exact same equipment you use happily.
Many audio pros would say the same thing about YOUR gear. Are they right? And, if not, how are YOU right saying exactly the same thing? I can see EXACTLY how you respond when someone else casts doubt on your ability to pick good gear out, and yet, here you are doing exactly the same thing...
So, before you go off the deep end, allow me to just say I wasn't saying anything about your ability to mix (not that we have heard much, yet) just your ability to say one thing for yourself, and another for anyone else. If Alesis managed to make a decent nearfield, at a price WAY lower than the rest, then how come these guys that Fran likes can't? Just exactly what DO you say to a customer that goes 'I don't need to hear a cheap Alesis monitor to know what it sounds like'?
Probably the same thing we are telling you... USE YOUR EARS. Then make up your mind.
