Monitor selection

The PSB's and Linns fit the bill.

the psb's are probably not what you're looking for...

Totem ones would be nice. They offer quite good soundstaging / imaging and reproduce midrange in a very realistic manner.

btw, i suspect that your Parasound is a hindering factor in the overall equation.

Kinima G1s are a very transparent, nonfatiging, great soundstaging and craftsmanship that is only found in more expensive speakers. I heard the b&w and PSB, which are nice speakers, but the Kinima g1s has a little cleaner deeper bass, smoother highs and midrange that is very musical. I am using an Audio Aero Prima amp and cdp with cardas bi-cross wires. Go to zetagcorp for info. These should be in your price range, or less.

Are you sure that the Kinima G1 sounds better than the B&W CDM1NT, considering the price difference?

Anyone else feel the same way?

Thanks

Lawbadman,

I stand corrected. As Zaikesman so enthusiastically points out, Maggies are not electrostatic, and hence can not arc. I have, however, heard them on several occasions, and simply assumed, based on their sound and appearance, that they were electrostatics, and I apologize to you for my mistake in this area. I do, however, maintain my opinion that maggies are clear sounding speakers, and I still recommend experimenting with various upstream components before giving up on them.

Now, Z, are you planning to offer some useful advice to Lawbadman, or will you continue to lurk on his thread until another opportunity arrives for you to piss on the next guy who makes on honest mistake? You could have pointed out my error without making accusations and snide remarks, and I would have been grateful to you. Instead, I'm disgusted. I can only guess at what motivated you, but I'll wager the security of distance, anonymity, and the need to feel superior play a role. Whatever the case, I'll thank you to refrain from addressing me until you're prepared to apologize as publicly, and as effectively as you insult.

Lawbadman, I also apologize for this distraction to you and your readers. I thought about responding to Z privately, but he pulled this crap publicly, and I believe he should be afforded the opportunity to apologize (to us both) in kind. I hope he doesn't abuse it.

Well, I won't take up anymore of everyone's time. Good luck with whatever you decide to do Lawbadman, and please share what you discover along the way. After all, we're all here to learn.
