as noted above, you may want to consider slender floorstanders as monitors basically take up the same amnt of floorspace. plus they tend to be more stable and may offer deeper bass extension. just a thought. lotsa choices out there, listen to as many as you can. as a 'newbie' you might use the opportunity to distinguish first hand the differences in musical presentation between the various designs. ported, planar, sealed, transmission line, horns etc. classical music is demading and desrves a good spkr.
Speakers in the 1000 dollar range....
I am a newbie to the world of high end audio equipment however, I do listen to a lot of music and I do know what sounds good.
Any recommendations for speakers ? I guess I'm looking for something in the &1000 range that would be a good match for the Unision Unico which I purchased recently? I listen mostly to classical music and good realistic sound stage, transparency and accurate uncolored sound is important. I'd like nice tight bass...not overly heavy, mushy. And of course a solid mid-range and clear, effortless , non-strident highs are important too.
In my opinion voice, piano and violins are the hardest to reproduce realistically.
I am looking for speakers that go on stands since I live in an apartment building. Probably 12" wide by say +/- 18" in height for size.
Is this too much to ask in a speaker?
Thanks.
