Don't know what the scene is like where you are at, but the Thrift Shops, Pawn Shops, Garage Sales, etc. around here often have great deals on used stereo Graphic EQs that have separate controls for each channel.

That plus a small stereo integrated amplifier or receiver to yield an amp and headphone jack and you may be able to piece together a monitoring system that you can tune to your needs without breaking the bank. Add a pair of headphones and you would have EQ control, plenty enough power, even the Tone and Loudness and Pan controls on that stereo to help if needed.

Those EQs often work right away, or may need a spritz of deoxit cleaner lube into each slot to clean the controls and will work again for another ten years. Same goes for a lot of the used stereo systems as well. And the prices are very nice indeed. I've seen lots of those kind of EQs of various brands at the 10 to 20 dollar mark this past summer. People are getting rid of their stereo systems and stuff in favor of the newer Video Receivers, it seems.
