Monitors for $1500-$2000 with NAD320BEE Integrated

Ellis 1801 from Salk Sound.

vmps 626...if you dont have to have monitors, the ohm micro walsh, or the klipsch heresy.

Carbon 7s from Fritz (www.fritzspeakers.com). If you search for "fritz" here you'll get some good feedback.

Wait for used Harbeth 7es-3, or smaller harbeths if your room is small. If your going new, try the new line (imagine series) from PSB, they are very good, and not much $$$. I have heard several and the Floorstander for 1200.00 with an NAD int. was impressive.

I second the monitor plus sub approach, a first step wherein you can check out if your present speakers are not the problem.
