We just picked up some new toys at Vaughan Music Studios, and had a blast with them during Steve Swanson's session. We picked up a pair of JBL LSR4300s, and the Universal Audio 710 Twinfinity Mic Pre. 
The JBLs are great... Tons of detail, but not sterile. 
Check these out:

The Universal Audio pre was great.  The tube setting is great on vocals. Being able to switch over to the solid state circuit, and blend the tonality adds a tons of versatility. I'm excited to use this some more in the future.
