Best monitor under $1000

How about Silverline SR11s? (Used)

Thanks everyone for your recommendations and opinions. Now, I get to research each and every one. Several of these models have been brought to my attention via personal e-mails with friends, so, it seems you're all on the same page.

Thanks so much,

Frank

Hello again,

Anybody else heard LSA Group's "LSA1" Monitors? This is another recommendation for under $1K. Just wondering...

Thanks,
Frank

Have you listened to Quad 12Ls? Audition them once before making any decision.

Frank:

This topic has come up before and the following is a recent example . The discussion got a bit spirited at the end. The thrust of the discussion though was just how much money does one sink into bedroom speakers, given the types of speaker placement/listening position restrictions that exist.

This system is your "away" system while you're on the road. I had a similar situation six years ago while working in Europe (home in NYC; flat in London; and my traveling circuit for 3 years was London; Channel Islands; Geneva; Vienna; and Frankfurt). My main concern was with breaking up the system and getting some of my money back, when it was time to go home for good.

With the preceding in mind, here's a way to go. Audio Advisor is clearing out its stock of Wharfedale Diamond speakers. They have the Diamond 9.2 for more than half price off. Superb speaker that will give you what you are looking for, especially for the types of music that you listen to and the near rear wall, on top of furniture placement that a bedroom system dictates. In addition to the Wharfedales, I have found that the NHT SB 2's & 3's (now replaced by NHT Classic 2 & 3) excel in bedroom set-ups, because they are acoustic suspension/sealed box design and are not placement fussy.

I am not familar with the amp that you will be using and what speakers tend to match up with it best. Incidentally though, the best monitor that I ever heard was the Focus Audio FS 688 . It will set you back about $2K ... but what a sound.
