Keyboard amp/monitor for home use

As the title says...
I am about to carry a Juno DS home to fiddle around and write new material with.
I need an active speaker to pair it with.
As I would use it only at home I don't need super loud stuff but I'd like something with a very strong sound quality.
Don't even want to spend more than the keyboard's worth either, hence I'd cut down the output power first to save some money, as it's not a priority as I said earlier.
I saw this being advertised as a keyboard monitor: BEHRINGER B105D
Yes it's THAT brand. Ok. Any suggestions anyway, or experience with this or any other product?
Remember: home use only.
Thanks in advance!
 
I use a Roland KC-300 that I bought used at GC for $150. It sounds really good. I have also used it for bass and acoustic guitar.

Pretty much any of the Roland offerings for keyboards are pretty good, in my experience.

In that situation, I’d go with a pair of active studio monitors, bookshelf control room style, with the largest woofer that space and budget can accomodate.
