I think Natalie has a point. I am not commenting On Monitor because I have not heard them. I am sure most of us would agree it is not a good idea to buy a speaker we haven't heard. It doesn't make a difference who recommends what, you really have to hear a piece of equipment in your system to know if you like it. Natalie doesn't like Monitor and some of you like them. For Natalie they are bad and for others good. The fact a product got some high reviews means nothing. How many of us have heard or even bought a well reviewed product and were very disappointed. You don't know until you listen. It is not a personal attack.
But I am curious what do you own Natalie?
