As far as the monitors go (624's), try to find somewhere that has a wide range of monitors and listen to them. If you know a shop well enough, they will let you take some monitors home and try them in your environment.
When I listened to both the 642's and the 824's, I thought that the 624's were weak. The 824's were quite nice but IMO not worth the asking price. What really got my attention were the Dynaudio BM6a's....they were super cool, clear, clean, and cum-worthy.
Also, spend some time (and money) on optimizing your room. Treat the hot spots (First reflections) and do a modal analysis on your room (maybe hire an expert) and but some bass traps where needed. Keep your monitors away from walls and especially corners!!!!!! Make sure they are at ear height, and spaced apart the correct distance.
You can buy the best monitors in the world and they will sound like shit of your monitoring environment is shithouse.
Good luck!!!!
