any new Quad 11/12L owners?
Sunny...Quad has never been associated with mid-fi...and the new L series are no exception...their sound,craftsmanship,and cosmetics are unrivaled at their price points...their real strengths mirror their ELS cousins:speed,detail, and soundstaging... 
Please help - system "brightness" problem
Joel...I should have said "certain" recordings instead of "poor"... cheers 
Please help - system "brightness" problem
All good advice...plus what may sound initially "bright" may sound different as your ears adjust to a new speaker...and again this might not be the speakers fault...what you often gain in detail can be perceived as bright through poor recordings a... 
Time coherence - how important and what speakers?
Roy...thanks for the response....maybe i should rephrase my question: "if a speaker is fundamentally accurate(time/phase domain)....and can even reproduce a square wave...does this mean it automatically sounds good? I understand that accuracy is a... 
Proac vs. Meadowlark
Dont worry about it..both are great...Meadowlark might be more efficient in a montior...enjoy....

Quads:fast,clean,open...no brainer 
Time coherence - how important and what speakers?
Also..Roy...could you shed some light on the correlation between a wide dispersion pattern and time/phase integrity?Secondly...I believe it was Joseph from JA who brought up a valid point in what I assume was in defensive to his designs(which I do... 
Time coherence - how important and what speakers?
Roy great response...I was just thinking about this the other day...the real challenge in a time/phase design is not the crossover...its building the entire darn thing in a proper manner to use a first order network...in short...all your ducks mus... 
Any small monitors that dont sound thin and bright
Thanks to all...and I probably would have been happy with many of the above suggestions...but as you all know...this is a very subjective hobby(or disease!)...and after limiting myself to monitors due to space restrictions...finally settled on the... 
Monitor selection
Triangle Titus for $250-350 pop up on this site often...with a sub...they would be exactly what you are looking for...detail, transparency, and huge soundstaging from such a small speaker...good luck... 
What's the most important speaker attribute...and
Sdcampbell pretty much nailed it...you could have the most liquid top end and the tightest, deep bass known to man...but if the midrange isnt seamless...lotta work for nothing...which is why I assume that in 2-ways for example...the trend towards ... 
Best value speakers available
Also..the gateway to hi end really starts at the $800-1k level new...with Vandersteen 1cs, Von S. vr-1s, and Quad 12Ls(which I own)...these are all full range performers...for those with small rooms and where deep bass is not required...the Spendo... 
Best value speakers available
Some great suggestions...hard to beat used speakers when looking for value...that being said..."boxless designs" such as Vandersteen and Magnepan offer tremendous sonics in relation to price...I dont have the room for either...but if I did...both ... 
Hammond b-3 organ
Any modern b-3 power trios that come to mind? 
Monitor selection
Quad 11L or 12L(at the high end of your budget)...they offer incredible resolution,speed,dynamics, and a very wide soundstage(wide sweet spot)...they dont quite have the"see through" transparency of Maggies...but nontheless...they have very low bo...
