Opinions on Onix Reference 1 monitors??
Since posting this I have purchased some Merlin MMs and Dynaudio Focus 140s. I found them by my ears both to be better than AV123 Ref 1s. The Merlins at twice the price do not suffer from the occasional tendency toward harshness that the AV123 Ref...

Dynaudio Focus 140s or Merlins are my pick. I have personally owned B&W 804, 805, Dali Helicons, and Onix Reference.
