MiniMonitor 33lbs w/realistic vocals,not bright.
Yep, others have steered me to the 1SC (ProAc).I need to look at an amp too I guess.You would think with everybody into computer music these days there would be a higher presence of high end active speakers beyond ATC, Quad and PMC and some Swans....

OK, thanks everyone. I guess I was looking to spend < $2500, new or used.

Well, as far as the weight goes, I was looking for something roughly in the size & shape range of the Quad 12Ls (~20lbs each), as opposed to some bigger box, so I decided to focus on the weight as pointing to the class of speaker I wanted to k... 
Anyone heard te Sony SS-AR1
Thanks for taking the time for that great history lesson Pryso. I appreciate it. Good stuff. I only heard Dunlavys once and then I wondered why they weren't as big a name as Wilson. Great speaker. Amazing what can be done with old-technology cones... 
Anyone heard te Sony SS-AR1
OK, Pryso, I sit corrected. Thanks for clearing that up.(Is Duntech related to Dunlavy? I mentioned Dunlavy & Hales only.)

And with Sony, you can expect the speaker will be supported with drivers & such for a good long time down the road, something I always worry about with something that expensive. Like what do you do if your Dunlavy or Hales goes on the blink?

Well, Sony did make what many say were the best dynamic headphones ever (R10s). 
Aerial 20T / Eggleston Savoy
Good post Michael457. Always good to learn a lesson from someone else's hard-won experience. Thanks. 
Ideas for reducing gain on a Belles 21A pre-amp?
Hi there and thanks for the comments.The B52 does not have gain switches (I wish it did.) 
Ideas for reducing gain on a Belles 21A pre-amp?
I wanted to bump this thread as I am having the same problem using my Ray Samuels B52 (as a preamp) feeding my Edge NL12.1 power amp. The 23-step Dact attenuator is usually at 4(too low) or 5(too high). I am going to try a pair of Rothwells (cheap... 
Best solid state headphone amp under $1000
I heard the Lehmann Black Cube a while back with HD650s and really liked the pairing. 
Is the Accuton driver that good?
Yep Shadorne, splashy is exactly the word for it. Not hard, bright, etched, just like a vague reminder of Niagara Falls.It actually does sound like there is more realism. In regular drivers, something is missing and thus less natural, but maybe I ... 
5 legendary speakers?
Hey HifiHarv, I had the A25 when I was a teenager & loved them for years (with an AR receiver with that great FM tuner in there).But I have not heard anyone mention the KLH 17 ever, which I used with the KLH 20 compact stereo and thought were ... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
About the Dynaudio Sapphires, if you don't mind.I love the Dynaudio sound but I have to sit 8 feet from my speakers (they are on the long wall of my 20 x 13 foot room).I had Aerial 10Ts & Wilson WP6s right here & they were fine. So do you ...
