what's the best "mini monior" these days
I would love to hear the Reference 3a Dulcet, the VOn Shiekwert vr-1, and the Green Mountain Europas...these...along with the Quads would be my first choices...the Revel m20 is nice too.... 
Psb Platinum speakers

Quad 12L, PMC TB2, or Harbeth Compact 7ES-2?

Quad 12L, PMC TB2, or Harbeth Compact 7ES-2?
