ProAc vs Totem vs Usher, please comment
update: the totem forests remind me a lot of the 805's openness and detail, but with less fatigue/harshness and better attack/PRAT... the bass is incredible and definitely better than the 805's, which isn't too much of a surprise. overall, i'd tak...

LOL Thorman, that is freakin' hilarious!!Thanks Shadorne, I will definitely go audition some PSB's. How do they differ from the B&W Nautilus sound? I see that audioadvisor has PSB Image T6 towers for 1200/pair, good choice?

"Warmer" Speaker - $600-1000 Range
b&w 685 
Pioneer Elite A-35r and Magnepan MMG's
no way is it enough power for maggies. i had a a35r and i think is good for the money ($200) but is very weak in generalbtw, the a35r is 45w/ch, not 65.. dunno where you got that from 
Tannoy PBM 6.5 Monitors anyone?
well, if yuo paid less than $100 then u got a decent deal 
Paradigm Studio 10 or ERA D4/D5
I preferred the D5 over the Studio 20's.Paradigms sound bright, the Era's were smoother and sounded more natural. 
best monitor speaker under $2000
