Monitor with a full range sound?

Well, it kinda depends on what you mean by "full range". I've owned about 10 different stand mounted monitors (I like the imaging!) and the only one I've owned that I consider "healthy" in the bass department is my current pair of Reference 3A MM De Capos.

The Reference 3A MM De Capo plays down into the mid 30hz region and is an overall excellent speaker. This is easily the best speaker I've ever owned. This speaker is currently built in Canada, but was originally designed and built in Europe. It sold for over $4000 when built in Europe, but the current version sales for $2500. I have seen some discounts when searching for a new pair. For $1500, a slightly used pair is a steal in my book!

Enjoy,

Comment? Full range and small size are antithetical. How full and how small?

Avantgarde SOLO the new active monitor speaker that goes flat on 25hz with built-in 150W/side amp that has an integrated sub active crossover. They tended by designer to work with HT but they're damn great when play music.
I was probably among the first 'philes who auditioned them in NY or US in whole.
Their price is $8000 but you pay actually for amp/speaker combo which is I think a steal.
They consist of consentric horn loaded midrange and tweeter and dynamic woofer. The tweeter is the same as in Avantgarde Uno.

Greetings "Tcpip",

There was a loudspeaker company (they might still be in business) that built a minimonitor that could play faithfully down to 35 Hz @ -1.5 dB. I know this was true because I had auditioned this rather amazing minimonitor, especially considering it only had two 3" mid/woofer drivers to do this with, and it still was able to accomplish an 87 dB sensitivity rating. Is was from a company called Digital Phase, and the model was called the AP-.7. I believe that the website is still available at http://www.digitalp.com. If not, you might do a search on the internet or here on AudiogoN for them.

A few that are currently available from companies like Talon Audio (that has a large rather expensive monitor that plays below 20 Hz if I remember correctly), Silverline Audio, and Paradigm I believe still has an active monitor that goes down into the low 30's.

Hope this helps you some.
