Monitor; selling your best monitor.

Merlin TSM-MX & Harbeth's SHL 5's.

Silverline Audio Ferrari red SR-11.

Always kind of missed the Merlin TSM-M's I owned for a couple of years. Ones I'm keeping: Totem Mani 2 Sigs, & Spendor S3/5 SE's--I've never had speakers I liked more than those.

Ones I don't regret selling: any of the b&w's I ever owned: CDM-1SE's, Matrix 805's, Signature 805's (personal opinion).

There were a pair of JBL studio monitors 4312's that served me well for 10 years--

ACI Sapphire III. So I bought another pair

Sequerra Met 7s.

Revel M20 and B&W Signature 805.

Good thread.

I would like to have had the OEM stands for the N805's... just to see how they would have sounded on them.

I've yet to find a set of monitors that bowled me over completely so far.... a pair that will work well with any sort of power train, and in a moderate to small sized room.... and are 'gettable' as well.

Mostly I've had or own pretty good to very nice, but no actual show stoppers. A couple surprises too in terms of value oriented units from Phase Tech, Canton, and Silverline now.

I've gone through a good amount of monitors, and I don't have one that I regret selling, but rather, one I would never sell - the AAD 2001s.

The 2001s are gorgeous, have prodigious extension on both ends, and will keep getting better the more quality power you give them - a speaker that will grow with your system, not hold it back.

Best,
