Considering the BMR Philharmonic Monitor speakers

I have a pair of CSS Audio 1-TDx monitor speaker that I like very much, but have for along time considered these Monitors.  I am hoping to run them with my Don Sachs 2 preamp and a First Watt J2 amp, with 25 wpc of Class A power.  I have other more power amps, but I really love the J2.  

I'd be keen to get any impressions from others about their sound and performance and your thoughts on amp pairings.

I heard them at Capital Audiofest and was very impressed. 
I'm considering buying them for a second system.

As a former BMR Monitor owner, I would wholeheartedly recommend them. They have excellent resolution, imaging, and sound staging, and I found them to be tonally neutral. I ran them with a Lyngdorf TDAI-1120...a great combination.

Only sold them to go with active monitors.

Just get these and be done with it. 😜  And I think they’re in the gorgeous Sapele wood finish, so there’s that.

Thanks for the comments.  Yeah, the Pulsars are absolutely stunning speakers, in looks and performance.  I have heard them many times and loved them, but not their price.

I've heard the BMRs on multiple occasions, and they were impressive each and every time. I would have bought them on my last bookshelf speaker purchase, but there was a stock issue at the time.....and I could not get a straightforward answer on delivery times. I bought Buchardt Audio S400 MkIIs (which are brilliant).

If I were in the market for a $2,000 pair of speakers, the BMRs would be at the top of my list
