High End Monitors


I am moving my system to a room in my new home which is a lot smaller thanthan my current set up. My new room is simply too small to house my Wilson Sophias. What suggestions would people have for a standmount speaker? I have listened to the Dynaudio C1s and found them to not be to my taste. I have listened to the Talon ravens and liked them a lot-- found them to be very transparent-- but they are costly. I intend to listen to the new Monitor Audio PL100 and the usher Tiny Dancer. Any other suggestions? Has anyone listened to the Escalante Pinyons without a sub? Eben XCentric? I would like to stay under $5k used or new. My musical tastes run to acoustic folk and rock with 33% symphonic. I am not a bass freak but really enjoy speakers that do the disappearing act, not one of the Sophia's strengths. Other pieces: Act2, Primare A32 amp, Marantz SA11. new cabling will come with the new room. Thanks for the input.

Hey Teeshot, are Direct brands with a money back option something you'd consider? If so I'd humbly suggest the BPT Cirrus - http://www.b-p-t.com/speakers.html

I have to qualify, I'm the person who builds them. They were incredibly well received at RMAF this year. They're truly a Reference Monitor, and are a value that's going to be impossible to beat.

Enjoy, Ryan
