Best nearfield monitor?

Correction - make that down to 44hz. !

Sorry.

I've owned a number of very good monitors, and the best for the money that offer incredible clarity and a full range bass response is the Blue Sky System One. Jerry Harrison of the Talking Heads used the System One to remix the their CD's and was so impressed that he then bought a pair for critical listening at home.

The Blue Sky's are two powered monitors integrated with a powered sub that can be placed anywhere in the room with no bad effects on imaging (per Blue Sky humans are directionally challenged below 50hz).

Disclaimer: I was going to use the Blue Skys in a second system that did not materialize, so I will be selling them here or on a pro audio board - so take this recommendation with a grain of salt, but not too big:I'm not in this hobby for the money and would never recommend them if they were'nt great. Check the reviews.

I just got my Barefoot sound Micromain 27.
I heard them before as i arranged a demo. Now i feel, they better my former system and i am just using them with my Wadia.
I don't know how audible all revisions (updates) are, but mine are the latest. I think they make a point, proving many high end brands obviously overpriced. There is alot one could say about these. No monitor can even be near bass as these put out. Considering what i sold off (speaker, amp + speaker cable) cost more than 3 times as much. I think this is the best value in hifi i've encountered during my 16 years.

Inpieces,

Congrats! This little gem is quite impressive, with an ever-increasing who's-who ownership, and a whole-hearted agreement with your opinion of best-in-value. I'm addressing which of my unused equipment will sold off to get a set myself.

I'm wondering how the smaller version might sound; it seems a bit more market-friendly.
