What don't you like about these speakers?
Tpsonic-always good advise to just listen and enjoy. The problem with auditioning speakers in a store is that it's not your room, there is a breakin period and the mind gets confused comparing speakers, but it still is a blast to listen to great m... 
What don't you like about these speakers?
I really appreciate the opinions so far. To answer several of the questions posed....I will take my Dynaudios with me to sit next to the speakers, I am going to Primus Audio and he strikes me on the phone as the perfect guy for me, and he has the ... 
help integrating a musical sub for minimonitors
I have a small secondary system consisting of Von Schweikert VR-1s, and a Creek 5350 SE. I added an REL Q108E. It has a Neutrik plug with speaker line level inputs. The wires connect directly from the speaker terminals on the back of the amp to th... 
LARGER SWEET SPOT WANTED Von Schweikert ?
I can only compare Dynaudios with Von Schweikert and find the soundscape to be taller and wider with the VS with the speakers in the same footprint, and without loss of precise location of instruments and voices. I don't know how they do it.

Tarsando-great one! 
AH NJOE TJOEB vs NAD 542 for rock
I am running my Von Schweikert VR-1s with a Njoe Tjoeb with the upsampler and a Creek 5350SE. I love this system. I have swapped the Tjoeb in and out of my main system and found the Classe was better with the Dynaudios and the Tjoeb was better wit... 
good cd/sacd players for classical music.
I have Classe and i prefer it for Classical, Folk and acosutic music. It seems to sound more lifelike and more analog. 
Best bookshelf speaker under $700 used
Try the Von Schweikert VR-1. 
Warm speakers?
I have not compared Dynaudios directly to the Meadowlarks. I like the Dynaudio line in general because the tweeter is not harsh but not rolled off and the midrange is well balanced, if a bit forward. There is no substitute for listening yourself, ... 
Exact Audio Copy And Adding Song Titles
Thanks for the website!! 
Speaker Placement
Search the Site archives for this question. There are several ways to do it yourself. WASP. Cardas, etc. Even if someone places them for you, you will make adjustments yourself (ad infinitum!). Good luck
