Montana speakers, musical? Good Value????

You must hear them for yourself, just like any other speaker. In general I've found them to be very musical, with a softer top end than you will find on speakers having ribbons or metal tweeters. In that regard they are very enjoyable without fatigue. But they do convey all the detail you need - it's just not in your face like the metals are.

Soundateging is a factor of your room and speaker placement. Almost any speaker will soundstage well if set up properly (and not, if set up poorly).

Good luck,
Bob

So they have good detail but not harsh and in your face high? If so that might be the ticket, my wife thinks the Innersound Eros are too bright. The Montana would seem a good very listenable speaker.

i would again look into the tyler acoustics. they use one of the best tweeter which is the SEAS MILLENIUM. i have two pairs of his speakers and what is reported as not in your face is also true of the tyler acoustic lines esecially with the millenium tweeter. i do not know how big your room is so its going to be dependent on that as well. the floor standing linbrook signature monitor is a great all around speaker that works well in most rooms that are medium to large. also the speakers are easy to drive. no short cuts with ty on build quality or drivers used.

I have Montanas epx' and sp2's. I find the epx' a little bright with some recordings so I wouldn't consider them soft up top. They replaced Martin logan Prodigies in my system and while they don't possess the holographic imaging of the electrostats, they are very close with a much better feel of the mids and bass. How big is your room?
I thought I saw a redisign ad for the eps's in one of the magazines a few months back.

Hi James, my room is 14.5 X 19 speakers are 9 feet apart, 40in from back wall and I am about 11 feet from panels...the goal here is to capture some of the panel magic but make my wife happy with wider sweet spot and more dynamic sound (Ithink they sound fine IN THE SPOT) but for her to be happy it is gonna no doubt be a cone and dome.
