what size is your room? I have a pair of quicksilver kt88 mono's easily modded with big military oil-foil coupling caps (necessary), which, with good speakers, are really nice in a smaller setting. something about point-to-point wiring. i have some big (chinese) monoblocks in triode to drive ml's but when i lose the martin logans and return to "normal" monitors, the quicksilvers return to service. very complete, natural sound, for around $1200 used. leaves money to spend on recs!
