Check out the VMPS RM 40's. They have alot of raves about them at AA and Audiocircle.com. Also won BEST of CES in 2002. They are incredible for the money. There's a dealer in Wash DC with both Von Scheikert and VMPS. Most people buy the VMPS and they're cheaper. The sound is excellent from bass through treble. Soundstage is awesome, period. A used pair can be had here for less than 4K with all the options. You'll be doing yourself a disservice if you don't go hear these.
Speaker Upgrade Suggestion
I'm in the process of evaluating a speaker upgrade to my system. System config is: Blue Circle 21.1 preamp, Outlaw 950 pre/pro (for HT and multi-channel music), Marantz DV 8300 uni-player, Rotel RCD 1070 cdp, Anthem MCA 20 (l/r mains) and MCA 30 (center and surrounds)with Kimber PBJ interconnects. Current speakers are Monitor Audio Silver S10's (mains), S2's (surrounds) and LCR (center) with SVS sub. I am finding myself listening in 2 channel mode more and more. I am considering adding a seperate DAC (Musical Fidelity A3.24 or Bel Canto) and upgrading my mains. The budget for the mains is $4,000. I like a crisp, tight, detailed and open sound with tight bass. I've listened to the following speakers: Thiel 2.4 and 3.6 (too dark), B&W N803 and N804 (kinda crackly, 804 seemed better than 803), Magnepan 1.6 (nice sound, lacked detail), Klipsch RF-7 (great detail but cold).
My MA's are good sounding but I'm thinking there's a more "musical" product out there.
Suggestions wanted please.
