I would actually recommend going with Event 20/20's. I personally
think the quality of those is better than the TR8N's. You can get
those new for $300 through guitar center or musicians friend, or you
can typically buy them used for around $225 with shipping.

You will however need an amp, if you watch on ebay, you can probably
find a hafler p 1500 for around $250.

This would keep you under $500 and will give you better clarity than
anything else i've heard for that price.

The only other option that i could think of is the Behringer truth
monitors. Musician friend is carrying them for $299 and they're
powered. I don't think they're as good as the events, but if you need
to tighten your budget, they would work

The Tannoy Reveals are around $320, and are much more honest speakers, and
much better sounding than Events, better than the Yamaha NS10's which once cost
around the same amount.
