Best speakers for my system/taste/budget?



Dear Reader,

I live in a apt., so I am forced to avoid full range speakers and/or sub's. My musical taste primarily consist of traditional jazz (Miles, Monk, Mingus...)70's R&B/rock and 80's pop. I am a freak for soundstage, detail,a warm mid range and slightly rolled off at the top (I hate hot tweeters) I am definitely on a budget, so please don't recommend anything over $500 new or used including stands.

My electronics are modest, but very musical (to me at least)and will remain unchanged

See if you can find some Castle Richmond's on the used market. Very full bodied little English monitors that can be had for about $350. There was an Audiogon dealer that had these if i remember correctly. Sean

GR Research Paradox speakers have been raved about on the AudioAsylum (www.audioasylum.com) ... if you assemble and finish them yourself they will cost around $400. Finished price is less than $500 factory direct. They look beautiful and feature good quality drive units. Search on Google or other engines for the GR Reasearch site.

Good luck!
