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.
