for 2k get a nice floorstander and hear what you miss with monitors.....totem,wharfedale,castle....lots more
Help me pick the right monitor
I'm looking for a higher class monitor that can handle 80 watts of pure Class A power. I've currently got Acoustic Energy AESPRIT 300s, hooked to a Jungson JA-88D by Ridge Street Audio Poeima !! Signature speaker cables. Actually, the AE's are quite good but I'm looking for a speaker with a quality cabinet that can keep resonance down as this amp really delivers bass. Wanting to improve from 40Hz which may require an 8" woofer(??) Looking for a high degree of transparancy with excellent detail. I know...I want it all! (As most of us do) I've been considering Reference 3 DeCapo's and am looking to spend up to $2K. These are for my home office system so as much as I would like to have floor standers, monitors must be used. The room dimensions are 10x18. Thanks for your input.

You may also want to look at the Phil Jones designed AAD 2001 monitors. It would be difficult to find a more inert cabinet than the 2001. I have a pair and really like them. Link to review: http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/aad_2001.htm They are currently imported by NAT Distribution. Here is a dealer that sells them: http://www.questforsound.com/speakers/spkrs_aad2001.htm Enjoy! |
