Help me find a monitor.


Hello Guys,

Long story short I have some Magnepan MG12's and I might have to replace them. I was hoping I could get peoples opinion on monitors in the $1500 Canadian or $1200 USD range. I willing to buy used. I know that I am comparing apples to oranges here, but please work with me.

Right now I am just trying to make a short list of alternitives.

This I like about the maggies and would want in another speaker is:
-musical
-midrange magic?-richness?-refined?-texture to the music?-smoothness?-tone and cohesiveness?-overall character?-fullness - wall of sound?-speed?-plus everything else maggies so well

As long as the speaker has bass until about the mid 40's before rolling off I am happy. I would also like a speaker that has a good soundstage and lots of air.

So throw out some of your recommendations.

Thanks,
Nick

GMA Europa fits the bill nicely. Right at $1K/pair and I think if you hear them, your ears will be very very happy. Do a search here for other peoples comments on these speakers. 1st order crossover for that midrange magic you speak of, and to my ears (i'm a musician) these gems sound more like real music than anything close to their price. One of the best values in all of audio in my opinion.
