What is the best high efficient monitors under 1K?

Well I am having a hard time to find high efficient monitors for my SET 2A3 amps or may be best matched monitors for the Manley Stingray in my office under $1000.00. Do you have any opinion or suggestion? I would appreciate your anticipate in my thread.

Take a look at the Bob Brines FB-16. It is a Fostex based single driver speaker. It's not on his website yet but go to the message board and look for his coments there. I am having him build me a pair of FB-1600's. I can't wait to get them. I've heard great things.

Tannoy's would be good with the Manley.

I recommend auditioning the Opera Audio Eric-1s at just under 1K/pr. new. Quite impressive sounding when I heard them earlier this year at THE Show.

At 90db sensitivity into 8 ohms, they should be a pretty easy load to drive with SET.
