I recently swapped out my LS-50s for Monitor Audio Silver 300 7G. They actually have a smaller footprint than my KEFs on their stands. They also cast a much larger soundstage (my ONLY issue with LS-50s) and do not require a subwoofer. Their big brothers, the 500s, identical except 2-8" woofers instead of 2-6.5" are Stereophile Class A listed. If you can live with bass just to ~40 Hz, I'd highly recommend them. If you want more, then the Gold Series 200 offers the same configuration with a ribbon tweeter and more sophisticated cabinets. Excepting Magnepans, which won't work in my room, I've never had speaker that got so much right.
What stand mount monitors works w/ Pass XA 30.5?
I have a Pass XA 30.5 and I'm looking or a great stand mount speaker with reasonable efficiency to match up with my 30 watt Pass. I'm doing this backwards, buying the amp first but I like the Pass sound and I have a smallish room and pair of 26" Sound Anchor stands,hence my need for a monitor. I'm trying to stay under 4k for the speakers new or used. Any help would be appreciated.
