Just following up on the Thiel thing.If that's your cup o' tea fine.I like a brite speker but not that brite.I just got a set of Audio PhysicSparks for a buddy.For the $2-2.5K list they deliver with mids have bass and don't take up much more space than a pair o' monitors in hight and would be slimmer.Have had B&W's in past and think the Nautilus a are a few steps ahead and maybe a step back w/the 805's (bass is a little "woofy").Matrix wouldbe cheaper and nice.Like the little Joseph RM 7's signatures with it's crossover design.I would recomend my little Odoen model 17's.Horn loaded without the horn coloration.I think they kick butt even on the AP Sparks I recommended which I have siutting next to them waiting for a freind who wanted a pair to pick them up after I founf them.They are B class Stereophile but think mine just kick crap out of 'em.Also think of a nice ste of Totems.Good bang for the buck.Proac was a good suggestion too.Base it all as well on the fact that your Bryston is a brite.Good for B&W not so good for Thiel.
Monitor speakers - choices to narrowed down to...
To facilitate family life I am being presses into moving my 2 channel gear into a small dedicated room that will end up being a less than ideal 12X12X8 which no doubt I will have to treat. My Maggie 1.5's may end up being sounding constrained in such a small space. The rest of the system is:
Modded 333ES sacd cdp
Rogue 66
Bryston 4B-ST
HT Pro 9 single wires
Based on budget I have come up with the following choices:
1. Silverline SR-15
2. Piega 2
3. Monitor Audio GR-10
4. ACI Sapphire
5. Proac Tablettes 2000
6. Totem model 1
Many of these cannot be listened to prior to purchase account factory direct or no local dealer. As low end bass has never been a big desire I don't feel the need for a sub.
I'm looking for musicality first above detail in hopes to minimize listener fatigue.
Any members here either have a similar system or can offer some "sound" advice as to creating a short list? Many thanks in advance for you input.
