what's the best "mini monior" these days

I second the ATC SCM7. I have tried several mini monitors over the last few years, these are keepers. They are accurate and involving. Truly amazing.

I have the ATC SCM12's and can't believe how good they are. However, you can't use tube amps with them unless you have high power available. They need at least 100 watts. They are amazingly dynamic and detailed.

You're correct I was talking about the RM7si.. Just did the wrong cut and past from the review I was reading. One of the local dealers I called for another reason is hot on the RBH 41-SE anyone get a chance to listen to these?

yeah, cast another vote for the ATC's. i have 3 ATC 10's along with two 50's. they're incredible.

just fyi: like most speakers, they are lousy out of the box. once broken in, the difference is night and day.

You know I know of NO ONE IN my are of the US that sells ATC speakers! I would like to hear some of these models sometime. I'm currious. I know ATC makes some excellent active speakers in the mega buck range, but would like to hear the rest of the line(or at least some). Anyone know where in the California, Nevada, Arizona area these can be found in? Thx
