~$1k Monitors...So Many Choices...

I've got my short list down to Triangle Titus, Dynaudio Audience 40 or 50, Acoustic Energy AE1, Soliloquy 5.0, and Dunlavy SC-I. I now have a pair of AE Aegis 1 and I want to really improve the sound; not just a small step up. Let me know what you think about these speakers and if I've missed anything from my short list. Thanks.

I think you should opt for either the Triangle or the Dynaudio. From the looks of your equipment, I would say you have a laid back system. If you prefer it to stay that way, go Dynaudio. If you want to step up the tempo a bit, go for Triangle. Triangle really opens the sound of everything up. Seems like the more we know about speakers, we soon become surprised by how good a speaker can sound when it breaks all of the rules.

How do you think your suggestions compare to the Dunlavy SC-I's? They are the only reference I have in the price range. I don't think it would be fair to compair the Triangles, ACI, JMR, etc. to the Aegis.

Miailman, check on the www.audioreview.com, and you may find some useful information, about all of the speakers you are interested in. That was my start, when i was looking for the upgrade! Good Luck!

Yes the reviews at audioreview are helpful, but only to a point. The reviews tend to be very subjective and many times written by HT users. Also I have found that the crowd here is much more discerning than the stereoreview crowd. Don't get me wrong I love stereoreview; I just prefer this site and AA for personal advice.
