Well, I need a "one-box solution" near-field monitors for my bedroom, preferably with digital input.
I'm lost, because I'm totally new on this and hadn't have enough time yet to research.
It's for listening only (and not recording or mixing) purposes, so it needs to be musical (I listen mostly to classical and 'acoustic').
I don't have a fix price range, so suggestions at any price will be welcome.
Please let me know your thoughts!

There's only one set of speakers that I know of that are powered and have a digital input. Check out Merdian DSP 3100 for monitors. They have a complete line of digital active speakers but most are floor standing. These are not inexpensive but they are close to state of the art.

You may also want to look at NHT xD series.

Thanks for the input, recca!

So far, the JBL LSR4326P has caught my attention the most!

Look into any digital studio monitors with digi inputs. go to ur local guitar center type store and listen to a few monitors before you question any of them being "Musical" (especially with classical and 'acoustic'). placement and room acoustics will be 90% of any speakers "Musical" ability, if not more...hint hint
