Consider the Stone Image Rothschilde A2 Monitors. They are outstanding for the price and Jimmy R is a pleasure to work with.

comparing monitors
I am looking for a monitor that will play well in a 12x15 room. That being said, I am wondering if anybody has had any experience with the Reimer's and jm reynaud offrande's. If you have heard both can you make some comparisons? Both are held in very high regard, so I am trying to find out the differences. I use a 35 watt tube amp and will have a tubed cd player. I guess if anybody else has suggestions on monitors that due what they should as a monitor(imaging sound stage etc) and have deep clean bass(for a monitor)let me know. Want to stay around 2000$ new or used.Thanks!

Hello Sean, Yes, I own the Rotchschilde's. They are wonderful little speakers IMHO. The metal tweeter is not "hot" or etched. The woofer, looks like a Dynaudio but probably isn't, has great bass extension considering cabinet size. The most remarkable thing about the Rotchschildes' is the imaging. I've seldom heard better. The speakers get out of the way of the music and provide a wide and deep soundstage. The midrange is excellent with great tonal colors. What they don't have is great slam and impact like a larger speaker. I took mine to a NYC audio meet. Here's a link to some of the opinions. http://www.audiocircle.com/circles/viewtopic.php?t=21986&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=60 Give Jimmy R an e-mail or phone call. I believe he allows for a 3 week in-home audition. Jim |
