I was very pleased with the Dynaudio Contour S1.4 which I owned twice and The Volent Chorale CL 2. I think it is important to look at monitors that will play down to around 35Hz-40Hz and not be down more than 6db. This gives you all but the last octave. Very little musical content is recorded below 32hz, Home theater will have LFE into the low 20's.
Monitors that compete with quality floorstanders??
Like to know if there is a monitor, (even a larger monitor than bookshelf) that can compete with high quality floor standers across the board. I realize that bass response will always be problematic, for example, one 6 inch woofer in a monitor versus two or three 5 inch woofers in a floor stander which will produce better bass, and upper midrange
I could spend $2500-$2700 for such a monitor and stands used or new. I am not particularly interested in using a subwoofer. Smoothness, wide soundstaging, precise imaging and overall musicality are very important characteristics of such a "monitor" Thanks
