Not having the budget for active studio monitors (nor having an acoustically treated room that would make them actually accurate), I run the signal from my computer to a nice old 70s Sansui stereo amp feeding a pair of decent but not terribly expensive bookshelf speakers (Cambridge Soundworks Model Seventeens). Like Woodman and Old Cane, I play a bunch of different reference recordings through them before mixing, just to calibrate my ears to their idiosyncrasies, and I also listen to my mixes in some other places (the usual: car stereo, boom box, etc).

Didn't cost me much money, and it works...
