Need Advise for open sounding monitors


I currently live in a large condo where my stereo speakers purchased about 40 years ago serve me well with a full open sound. They are columns with a 15" voice of the theater woofer and an ESS air motion transformer. I will be down sizing soon and want to start looling for a replacement. Thoughout the years I have listen to some monitors when given the chance but never found anything satifying. Any suggestions where to look would be appreciated.

I am using Focal 1007 Be monitors with a Cary SLI-80F1 in Triode mode. They replaced Thiel 3.6's / Conrad Johnson combination and I am very pleased with the results. The Focals are very open and detailed with plenty of bass. Sonus faber makes a great monitor as does Triangle each have a completely different sonic signiture. So it depends on what you are looking for.

But with any speaker it depends on what you are using for electronics and source components. As well as your budget and what you like.
Look into Shelby+Kroll monitors and the matching sub. I have had mine for about 10 months and am amazed at how full, deep, and wide the soundstage is. Imaging is spot on and not to sound cliche but the S/K's do deliver the "you are there" sound in spades. I purchased them to replace a pair of Lowther Medallion II Horns. If you go to the S/K web site scroll down the home page and use the menu prompts at the bottom. Something is wrong with the top menu and you won't be able to navigate away from it.

Good Luck
