Monitor Audio

I'd highly recommend the Silverline Minuets.  Heard the original version powered by relatively cheap electronics at a NY audio show and they blew me (and many others) away.  Best of luck.

If you’re willing to consider used, I’d suggest Totem Rainmakers in that relative price range. How about Definitive Technology Studio Monitor 65? I really liked their sound as compared to many other comparably priced (and sized) monitors.

I commented above on the Monitor Audio Silver 5i - but I rotate them with Silverline Minuets. Crazy coincidence...

The Minuets sound great, but different than the 5i. I can explain why I like the 5i, but not the Silverlines. The Silverlines just sound 'right', more laid back in my system than the 5i. Laid back is generally not my cup of tea, but the Minuets are captivating to me, easy to listen to for hours. Writing about them motivates me to rotate them back in.

My Minuets are the original version, fwiw. I use them with a sub now, but have used them without and been happy. 

I'll shut up now!

I am intrigued by the Minuets. Almost double the cost of the Bronzes. My guess is I'll keep them for a while, realize the amp deserves better. Sell at a loss and do it all over again! 

So how does the sound of your Brio/Bronze system sound to you?
