Linn Katans; apart from being dynamic and extremely accurate from the outset, they offer what few other monitors do... scalability. Katans make a quantum leap when they go from passive to active configuration... you can start with a passive system and slowly add... first a sub to fill in the base and eventually active amps. I started out several years ago with Katans and rotel amps. Over the years things have come and gone (eventually settling on an all Linn system), but the one thing constant has been the monitors.
Monitors under $1500?
Many of you are helping me make the transition from consumer gear to separates. For that I am greatly appreciative.
I find myself, however, all over the board with respect to speakers. I remember the many pairs of monitor-sized speakers I've owned in the past (none of any truly notable lineage) and was wondering which monitors I should be considering as stepups. I've read about Spendor, Linn, Paradigm (Reference/S), Dynaudio, DefTech, etc. Don't really know much about the mid-end of the monitor spectrum.
Would any of you care to make some suggestions in the $1250-$1500 bracket, new and/or *lightly* used?
Thanks in advance!
