Top monitors 3K - 6K range


Hello all,

I am looking into some flagship monitors and I'd like some help/recommendations. I don't have a single sound I like and my tastes in music are pretty diverse too. Currently I have a few nice speakers including Harbeth SHL-5, B&W 805N, Magnepan 1.6 and PSB Imagine B. These speakers are all pretty different and I do like them all. I have owned Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor M which somehow did not do it for me, amazing imaging but a little thick. Also I have had the Merlin TSM MMI which was great but my amplification is SS which seems to cause some restrictions.

My room is 12x16, speakers on the short wall. I do tend to like a slightly warm sounds but I also love dynamics, pinpoint imaging and sexy looking cabinets.

I am currently looking into:

B&W 805D
Totem Mani 2 Signature
Dynaudio C1
Focal Micro Be
Usher BE-718
Volent VL-2
Evolution MMMicroOne

Any recommendations? Am I missing anything?

dc10audio Berlin Studio Monitor if you like high efficiency along with the solid wood constructions not cheep but very unusual
For me dynaudio c1 works better on long wall,they power hungry,loves quality source.Sounds big,dynamic ,nice 3d sound and imaging.I have SHL-5 too
Shelby + Kroll Nano Monitors with a matching Woofer Monitor!
Very "sexy" and I have been listening to them for about 1.5 years and love what they do. Great detail with a huge side to side and front to back soundstage. I'm using SS amplification and a Dspeaker Dual Core 2.0 as preamp,dac and room correction device. All of this will fit perfectly in your budget and you will have a considerable amount left over for music!
