Revel M20s. Love 'em. You do need killer stands with monitor speakers which up the price considerably. The M20s stands are poor. The stand is a significant extension of your speaker, so going cheap will have a deleterious affect on your music. Something to consider ($$ wise) when buying monitors. Most audiophools, from my reading, have their monitors sitting on mediocre to poor stands. Probably to save money, which I can certainly understand. Been there, and done that, too. Read my review of the Sistrum Mini Monitor platform. Although these stands are pricey, they deliver, big time. There is a baby brother (speaker stand), that is also wonderful. peace, warren
Best relatively Compact Speakers in $2000 range??
I love my Revel F30s, but the room I have them in is very small and as many of you know the F30s are VERY bulky - not to mention they really need to be spaced from the back wall. Is there a more compact alternative in the $2000 (used) range that will give me similar performance, especially the pristine voice coil and exceptional bass extension of the F30s?? I'm also a great fan of the F30s treble adjustment, as I prefer a more natural, mellow sound. I've heard mention of the ProAc Response 3s but I have yet to find any dimensional information on them. Other suggestions?? System info: Citation 5.1 bridged amp/Conrad Johnson PV-10AL Pre/Music Hall CD-25/music meter ICs/Harmonic Tech wire
