I also have a M-Audio Firewire Solo.  I don't know how much experience

you've had with yours, but if you haven't updated the firmware on it then I

would strongly advise against doing it.  If you have, then you already

understand the pain.

For monitors I have a pair of M-Audio BX5a's.  When I'm recording and need

some isolation I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 280 pro headphones and for

double checking mixes I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 595 (open air)

headphones. Of course this all costs more than $100, but I'd consider it all

"budget" class and it doesn't suck.
