Monitor speakers for Plinius 8200

Kforton do some research on a california lab company called VMP they make a RIBBON MONITOR 1, new $1600 Sedond tipped me off on this one. looks very interesting. as well they have a RM 40 but no info. i'm a electrostat fan but if i had to go monitor this would be the one. RM1 has 2 graphite 8" woofers + 10" passive + ribbon mid + ribbon tweeter!

Personally I feel that you will get a very warm sound with the plinius and the planet so your speakers do not neccesarily have to be all that warm. I have heard the plinius with B&W nautilus 805 and have loved the detail combined with the warmness of the plinius. If you want something even warmer, I know that the 805's aren't warm, then I would try the dynaudio 1.3 or some audiophysic sparks or tempos, they are unbelieveable speakers. Also I would suggest I power cord as well for the plinius, I would go with a synergistic research just because many other cords sound bloated with the plinius, the synergistic will just drop the background noise and give you great "blackness", I hope this helps, good luck

AV Reality Avinci Ones or Studios. I just dropped my pair of Avinci "Ones" off at a high end reviewer"s house last week for evaluation, and now he won't give them back to me! They are that good.

The 8200 will be able to run just about any speaker you buy in that price range w/o any problem, as it has 175 watts of clean power available. My suggestion is purchase something that sounds good with the 8200 & if & when you go with tubes, make that change later. A few years is a long time to live with a compromised sound. I found the 8200 has great detail & you may find you may not want to move away from it at all. You do have to allow for sufficient break-in though, so give it some time. I also recommend using a different PC.
