Thanks for the recommendations. I'm looking for accurate, detailed, balanced, but rich, analog-sounding speakers. Does anyone have experience with the Swan M200 MkII?
What about Eve Audio SC204, Vanatoo T-1, NHT Superpower 2.0, Fostex PM0.4d and JRK RP8G3?
I'm willing to go up to $1k, but if I can get the job done cheaper, so much the better. Above all, the desktop monitors have to be sweet to listen to -- an harmonically rich and detailed midrange, non-anemic midbass and a non-fatiguing high end. In other words, musical. Good imaging and air a big plus.
