Monitor selection


I hope you guys can help me out with my dilemma. My system consists of:
Ah! Njoe Tjeob CDP with the Burr Brown OPA627 Op-amp upgrade
Van Den Hul The Bay C5 IC
Parasound HCA 750 power amp
Acoustic Research speaker wire (to be replaced soon)
Magnepan MMG

The problem is that I don’t get much clarity and detail from the MMGs, so I plan to sell them and buy some used monitors. I need some monitors that are bright and have really good midrange, bass is not really critical because I have a subwoofer. I’m in a cramped dorm room measuring 14 x 21, and I can only spend about $700, maybe $800. Here is a list of used speakers that I found in my price range.

Totem Model One
Meadowlark Audio Vireos
B&W CDM1NT
Vienna Acoustics Haydn
PSB Stratus MINI
Omega TS-1 R
Angstrom Legato
Silverline SR-11
Soliloquy 5.0
Linn Katan

I need some help in deciding which one to buy, also let me know if there are better monitors out there.

Thanks

Triangle Titus for $250-350 pop up on this site often...with a sub...they would be exactly what you are looking for...detail, transparency, and huge soundstaging from such a small speaker...good luck...
the psb's are probably not what you're looking for...

Totem ones would be nice. They offer quite good soundstaging / imaging and reproduce midrange in a very realistic manner.

btw, i suspect that your Parasound is a hindering factor in the overall equation.
Kinima G1s are a very transparent, nonfatiging, great soundstaging and craftsmanship that is only found in more expensive speakers. I heard the b&w and PSB, which are nice speakers, but the Kinima g1s has a little cleaner deeper bass, smoother highs and midrange that is very musical. I am using an Audio Aero Prima amp and cdp with cardas bi-cross wires. Go to zetagcorp for info. These should be in your price range, or less.

Are you sure that the Kinima G1 sounds better than the B&W CDM1NT, considering the price difference?

Anyone else feel the same way?

Thanks
