I also had a hard time deciding which monitors to get in the $2000 range. I demoed the Proac 1SC, B&W N805, SF Concerto, Paradigm Studio 20, Aerial 5, and Totem 1. I have always been curious about Tyler Acoustics but never got the chance to hear them yet. Anyway, among these speakers I heard, I believe it's a toss up between SF Concerto and B&W N805. I find the Proacs lacking in detail.
Help wanted in regards to monitors...
Looking to spend 2000.00 on either new or used speakers. The shortlist so far includes Aerial 5's, SF Concerto Home or Grand Piano, ProAc 1sc or 1.5's, Tyler Ref. Monitors, and last but not least the B&W N805's. I know I have included some "full size" speakers in the list above but all are in my price range. I listen to rock, r&b and Jazz. (no classical yet.) My system includes a 4B ST and a Threshold T3 with the new NAD T-550. I appreciate any input or critique of the above speakers. Also what is your take on Dynaudio products and do they manufacture their own drivers and tweets?
