comparing monitors

I am looking for a monitor that will play well in a 12x15 room. That being said, I am wondering if anybody has had any experience with the Reimer's and jm reynaud offrande's. If you have heard both can you make some comparisons? Both are held in very high regard, so I am trying to find out the differences. I use a 35 watt tube amp and will have a tubed cd player. I guess if anybody else has suggestions on monitors that due what they should as a monitor(imaging sound stage etc) and have deep clean bass(for a monitor)let me know. Want to stay around 2000$ new or used.Thanks!

ozzy62, my experience with forward sounding and detailed monitor's(in most people's descriptions) usually aren't musical, I heard the Harbeth monitor 30's today and thought they were outstanding, although maybe a little restrained up top, but just slightly. How do the reimers sound as far has comparing them to speakers like the harbeths or overall musicality?

I haven't heard Harbeths, but from what I imagine they would sound like, the Reimers do not sound like that. But that's not to say they aren't musical, because they are. They just might be a little too much for you. I went back to Montanas because they are a little more relaxed, but not as transparent as the Reimers. All a matter of taste. But if you like a laid back sound, the McCulloughs are not the speaker for you.

I don't only like a relaxed sound, but at the same time I don't like really anything from b&w that I have heard or some of the jm lab stuff. I thought the Harbeths midrange and bass were great but a little lacking in top end resolution. So, a speaker that has killer midrange and clean semi deep bass with highs that extend but never get bright and is utterly musical and seductive would be the one for me! If the Reimers do that I am all ears, what do you guys think?
