Best MONITORS availables

Emigene: You are on the right track. The Magico is very good as is the Kharma 3.2. The Peak Consult is very musical while not having the last word in resolution. The Ultimate Monitor is another outstandign choice. I had a pair in my system not too long ago and felt the imaged better than the Kharma 3.2's and have much better dynamics and depth. I have not had the Magico's here but have heard them quite a few times. I have had the Peak Consults and while being nice, they are not in the league of the Ultimate Monitors.

The cabinet construction on the Ultimate Monitors and the Magico's are among the best in the business. Two very different approaches and very different sounding as well.

The sound from these monitors is not only accuate but also very musical.

Well speaking of monitors in general and not the specific brands you've mentioned, I own and truly love a pair of JMlabs Micro-Utopias. Great transparency and musicality, and really surprising bass.

I've been deep searching for great monitors and never heard of Magico, don't know how I missed them.

What I did come up with is Lipinski L-707 monitors, they're slightly large for a standmount, but are said to be really good.

I'm trying the Focus FS-688's at home this weekend, so I'll see how good these puppies sound.

I'm very interested in the other two Jtinn mentioned.

Just my two cents,but having been in the hobby for 35 yrs,it seems clear that you can now get truly BIG high end sound in some of the smaller packages.Sometimes technology is a benefit.What is best is to gain real experience,as to what is truly musical,vs "enhanced" B.S.!!

Some of the speakers here are superb.I have heard the JM Labs Micro Be design,and with good support stuff,in a realistically chosen room,it can be amazing.

Also,the Ridge Street Audio two way,looks to be KILLER,as well.

Best to all.Even you,JTINN,charletan that you are(that isn't a bad thing,necessarily).
