Which Monitor Speakers to Consider
The KEF reference stuff I feel is heavily into the analytical and detailed camp.  Very fast speaker. Still musical but if you play sub par recordings you are gonna know it. Tonally spot on and good impact. I like them very much. I haven't heard th... 
Do I have to spend $4000 plus to get a better sounding speaker than GET model 7 ?
If you buy from people with good feedback you will likely not have a problem. If you get at a good price you can listen for a while and if it doesn't float your boat should be able to recoupe your money and move on to the next.  
Best monoblock amps for $2000 used
I am using an Odyssey Stratos Extreme with the Jolida Fusion Pre and it is a very good combo IMO. Very meat on the bones almost tubey midrange but fast and great bass. I would think 2 k will get you into some used nice used Odyssey monoblocks.

So from your car analogy I guess I can assume a Rolex keeps time better than a Casio. Not sure what sports cars have to do with speakers. One is a complex mechanical machine whose performance can be fully be measured and explained.

He should booby trap them😜 
"Best" mini-monitor?
Merlin TSMs. I had the Mmm version and it was phenomenal in a smaller room. In the bigger room they ran out of steam and lost Impact being the reason I sold them. One of the few speakers I miss.

BTW the music room has a pair of Focal Electra 1027be speakers for under 3k.  Sounds like a pretty descent deal. I was impressed with the 1028be which is a little newer but others in some forums were saying they thought the 1027be was better but I...

If you are interested in the Tektons you could always look into the Electron for a smaller model that appearantly is voiced exactly like the DIs with the same driver array just smaller drivers.   Between Focal and Revel I would go Focal for my tas...

@hfaddict,tighten up all the screws to all the drivers with a Phillips head screwdriver. You may be suprised at how loose they are or have gotten. I was. Not saying it's gonna make a night and day difference to what you are hearing but it's free a...

The SEs appear to have Eminenance 10s and 6s and what looks like another version of the SB acoustics tweeters. Just speculation from the pics. Thought I read these were going to be scanspeak drivers or similar.

I am sure someone will call me a fanboy but you really may want to consider Tekton Double Impacts. Very natural sounding quick and dynamic.

@kdude66 did you receive the Lyngdorf yet? I blew up my Odyssey amp trying to bias it. Shorted something. Trying to get it fixed but that Lyngdorf looks pretty sweet.

4K will get you better assuming your electronics are up to it. Moving up the food chain in speakers doesn't do much unless you can feed them properly. This is not to say you need to spend mega bucks, just that a home theater receiver is not gonna ...
