The best monitor under 1500

KEF 50 is a great rock speaker, but IMHO way too forward for Classical .

KEF ls 50 is a nice choice for an RV. It has limitations with larger rooms from what I have heard, but a very nice and compact package for many applications. Am RV sounds perfect. They do like power and current though so expect a significant variation in performance based on amp used.

What about something like a Thiel Powerpoint? Completely out of the way and great sound.

KEF LS50s

Your situation practically screams for the KEF LS50s--full bore Class A sound from around 60 Hz up, and perfect for smaller listening areas.

However …

If you can consider a small footprint tower, I've heard the Focal 714V and was very impressed with their sound quality and presentation. The speakers disappear and throw an engaging 3-dimensional soundstage as well as having good tonal balance and an airy top end.

MusicDirect has them on 40% off closeout. Their footprint is only slightly larger than the KEFs. Of course they're taller, but don't require stands. OTOH, you can't tuck them on a shelf when not in use.

Anyway, just a thought.
