best monitor speaker under $2000

PSB Synchrony One B.

Dynaudio Contour S1.4's are a Great value. Sound is tight with lots of air and bass goes lower than you would believe for a stand mount. They sound great with all types of music, from classical to bluegrass. I love them with jazz and acoustic guitar or good vocalists.

I suggest you buy amplifiers for speakers, not speakers for amplifiers.

I would consider looking at some of the used Merlin monitors for sale that are in your price range;if you are interested then call Bobby at merlin for his opinion on how well they would perform with your rotel as I am not familiar with it;you may even find yourself moving to a different intergrated, amp, or even tubes in the future.

If it weren't for the use of Rotel, this (TSM) would be the stand-mounted speaker I would recommend. Now if you had tubes, let's say a Manley Stingray, then your talking.

Would it be because amplifiers is secondary to speakers? Or, any other specific reason?
I guess it makes sense to me, but I cannot put into right words why.
