Thanks for the reponses. Given the short time frame before my friend's Bday, I went for the bird in hand and bought the PSB's from David at DMC. Nice guy.
Another Inexpensive Monitor Thread, $300 used
Hi Folks,
A very close friend who loves music, but is not an audiophile just blew out his college era boston acoustics monitors. For his birthday this weekend, I'm going to get him some new monitors.
The challenge:
The great room in his condo is 20x45x8, so lots of space to fill, and the flush bookshelf placement is less than ideal. It's also the middle of 3 floors, so bass resonance has to be kept to a minimum.
The priorities are musicality (even showy), wide soundstage and ability to fill lots of space.
Can has anyone comment on these 3 options currently on Agon:
-PSB B25
-B&W dm601
-Dali Concept 1
-Dynaudio Audience 40
-Other?
(He'll be driving these with a mid-90s Harmon Kardon receiver and cd player, and I'm throwing in some bi-wire cable.)
Thanks!
