I got a pair of Presonus Eris (http://www.presonus.com/products/Eris) for $300 for the pair, they are only 5 1/4 drivers not the 8" ones.But they sound DAMN nice. And was one of the few with a high/mid gain knob on them to tweak it for your room setting. Also has unbalanced 1/8 input as well as RCA.
I went to music depot and previewed all the ones they had. These was the best sounding ones for under $200 for each. IT even rivaled the Rokit 8's other than the low low end of bass but unless your going sub 40hz they put out a lot of clean flat sound.
If your looking for a cheap ASIO sound card input/output. The m-audio I had forever was really nice.
I got a Stienburg CI2 now. And couldn't be happier for the price. It has all I need. 2 mic inputs that are instrument and low/high mic option, headphone out and line out with volume for each and a input/daw mixer. It works amazing with Guitar Rig (what I use myself) and as my main soundcard.

I have an aversion towards USB-cards. Maximum latency I can accept is 10ms, preferably 5-7ms and I have this idea that the USB interface simply can't avoid higher latencies, ASIO or not. One good thing with the Steinberg mixers is that you get Cubase 6 AI free (currently running 5.1.1 Air-cracked).

Could be I've never noticed any.
Either it can handle it OK, or I just dont notice it.
Playing with my guitar hooked through the CI2 or directly in an amp I cant notice any delay in 'pluck-to-sound output' vs the amp.
Even tried it with my sons acoustic that has a amp output so I can hear the guitar itself and output together, as far as I can tell the notes played dead on top of each other. Same with my midi keyboard, it seems pretty dead on with key press to output.
I mean its running through my PC to output so there has to be SOME delay, but damned if I can tell.
Crap if I still had my cubase disk Id let you have it. I never used it. But that was 2 house moves ago I got this..I have no idea where it is. Ill look for it.
