thanks for the insightful responses - i appreciate the commentary.
@ audiooracle - yes, i agree that full range, floorstanding speakers would be preferred, however, my domestic situation is such that i need to get the speakers off the floor entirely - no floorstanding speakers, no standmounts. the speakers will be placed atop a long console table. given those restraints, i am looking for a great sounding speaker that can, with some bass augmentation, play well in my room. we don't listen terribly loud very often - low to moderate most of the time - no paint peeling, ear bleeding SPLs is not necessary.
any suggestions for a monitor that is fast, dynamic, and very detailed would be appreciated. the raidho and wilson duette have been mentioned, as well as a few from KEF.
