Best small/monitor/bookshelf speakers?

Having owned a pair of Coincident Triumph Signatures for several years I can highly recomend them. I have all tubes so their high efficiency and stable impedience make them compatable with almost anything. You may be able to pick up a pair of the original (series 1's) between $500 to $700. The newer versions are hard to find used and could run $1000- $1200 new. Call the builder, Israel Bloom and tell him what you have and I'm sure he will help.

Here's the website for Reynaud. As it turns out, "Figuy" and i were talking on the phone and he forwarded me the info on them. http://www.jm-reynaud.com Another possibility might be the Castle Richmond's. GREAT little speakers. Hope this helps. Sean >

Thanks Sean. And yes, the Richmond is the replacement for the Isis. The break in time was long for my pair. The manufacturer states 25 hours, a good reviewer (Rome) suggested 50 hours and mine took 150+ hours being broken in at fairly low volume levels.

Is it me or is everyone ignoring the B&W 302DM??

For the JM Reynaud speakers try Randy@ossaudio. He is the U.S. importer and very helpful.
