Rgd is right on with the stands. Get the best you can afford. Stands are a major (fundemental) extension of your speaker and will have a significant effect on the sound of your monitors. I use the Sistrum Mini Monitor Platforms. Yeah, they are pricey, but they are the most unbelievable stands: visually and, of course, sonically. Most audiophools do not take into consideration the stands when dropping the big $$ on killer monitors. My particular stands have a baby brother; while not better, are also unbelievable. Cool to look at (like no other stand you've ever seen) and wait 'til you hear what they'll do for your speakers. check 'em out. peace, warren
Reference Monitor Recommendations Help-Please
Hello All,
I'm looking for input on some high quality reference monitors. I have a small room 12' x 13'. I'll probably use a Bryston 3B SST or 4B SST Amp and already have a Bryston BP25MC Preamp. For a Subwoofer, I already have a SVS 20-39 PC Plus (525W Active)ready to go. I'd like to keep the Monitors price $2,500.00 or under. Not too fatiguing on the ears but with rich (Musical) sound. Also looking for recommended speaker wire type and brand (under $1K). Respected Audiophiles, thank you very much in advance.
