Speakers below 800

Fell in LOVE with Kirkstaeter (sp?) speakers at CES. The Silverline 50 is one of the best monitors I have EVER heard. Period. The sound from break-in to broken-in is immense, though. Amazing sound. Cheers! Retail for 700.

If you like the Kirksaeter speakers, Sound Images in Falls Church, VA (near 7 Corners on Rt. 50) has that line, plus Gallo's and Conrad Johnson electronics. Also other stuff! I forgot to mention them in my previous post about our local audio/HT dealers.

Coincident Speaker Tech. Triumph Sigs. are about as good as it gets for the $. A used pair should run about $600-$800 and perhaps the seller might include stands for about $100 more? High sensativity, stable impedence and a high level of fit and finish. Silk dome tweeter also keeps sibilence at bay . When you save up a few more bucks you can add a sub for A/V use only. The Coincidents run about $1200 new but you can find used pairs from time to time. Well worth the trouble.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions!

I have an ONkyo 595 receiver and the listening room is about 18*12 (approx). The floor is wooden and I prefer having floor-standing. I hope that will provide me with better suggestions.
