What are your favorite monitors?
Dynaudio 52seNot very big, the highs are very detailed but not harsh. Imaging is first rate. They also put out a good measure of quality bass for a small speaker.So far the best "bookshelf" I have ever listened to for any extended length of time.Matt 
Speakers for quality listening & occasional party
If you are going to party you need bass. Look for a used pair of Vandersteen 2ci's or possibly 2ce. Very good to listen to and have plenty of slam for that party.shoe

next upgrade for cdp
Hi I too have a Sony SACD C555es, a very good player with regular CD's and SACd. I just can't justify spending $16 to $20 for recordings that I could buy used for $7 Yes call me a tight wad but it all adds up. Recently I was fortunate to find a us... 
Has anyone heard Sony's DVP-NC555ES?
I bought a DVP-nc555es a couple months ago. With regular CD's the detail was outstanding, depth and dynamics terrific, and bass was solid and full. In my system it tended to be a bit harsh sometimes in the high freq. but part of my problem is my o...

Meadowlar Osprey...How does it sound???
I purchased a pair of Ospreys from another audiogon member who had them for a couple of months. I was not overly impressed at first and after spending so much money I thought perhaps that I had made a mistake. After a few weeks we started notici...

Jump Factor
Patrick O'hearn, a song called Malevolent Landscape. I am very familiar with the song yet still to this day it makes my heart skip a beat. The song lulls me with low bass tones, rythmic ambient bliss and then what sounds like an intense electronic... 
Best Rock, Blues, Jazz speaker under $1,500.
Audition some Vandersteen 2ce's if you get a chance, plenty of room filling bass I believe down to 28hZ before slow roll off. Well within your budget. I suggest buying used here on Audiogon and save yourself a few hundred dollars. Lot of speaker f... 
Meadowlark audio kestrel2 - anybody heard them?
Fantastic detail, wide soundstage, don't expect over powering deep bass but you will be able to distinguish each note ( no sloppy bass ). Before break in they are edgy, lack warmpth and bass but after many hours (as much as 300), they smooth out a...
