Mini-monitors $5,000 - $10,000


I'm looking to replace my Kharma Ceramique 3.2 FE's with a very good mini-monitor. A high WAF factor (I'm a design freak too so I'm in on this too)is important. So far I'm down to the Marten Heritage Duke 2 (I've auditioned their Form speaker so I have a good idea of the "house" sound and like it) and the Joseph Audio Pulsar (which I have yet to hear).

Any thoughts on either would be appreciated as well as alternatives. No, the Raidho's are too much.

I'll be driving them with a SimAudio Moon 600i and a PS Audio PerfectWave DAC. Occasional vinyl once I get a phono amp again. I listen to pretty much everything.

Thanks in advance for your input.

Dynaudio C1 is known to have synergy with Simaudio. Also look into the Lenehan Audio ML 1 Reference.
Serious eye candy with high WAF that sounds great: KEF Reference 201/2. You will want a sub also -- but heck, I say you need a sub with all of the monitors mentioned above (and yes, I also own the Pulsar and auditioned the C1 extensively).
Definitely check out Vapor Audio. They are kicking ass at a reasonable price range. There are two reviews out recently.
Good Luck!
