Dave - seriously why use monitors for hifi? The are uncoloured speakers used to monitor whilst recording. I would not use monitors for hifi - or use hifi speakers as monitors.Don't get loudspeakers, get monitors like Mackie HR824's they are more than low enough.
Vinyl won't sound that great though, good enough of course but all that noise that comes with playing vinyl will be more pronounced.
Quite a lot of the time I have to low cut, sometimes late at night or even during the day because I like to remove some of the low end rumble you don't hear.

Already own 3 pairs of great monitors. Yamahas, KRKs and Adam audio.
Part of my living is musician and sound engineer, monitors are not really made for that job.
Plus I do not want active speakers. I have a valve amp that I really do like the sound from.
To me vinyl does sound great. I do prefer the bottom end.
