Speaker pairings with Pass INT-30A

Anybody heard the 30A with the Paradigm S2's?

Just to clarify, my room is 13x20 with 9 ft ceilings if that helps any.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Joseph Audio Pulsars for one I would sure like to hear what those Wilson Monitors sound like. I can never get any dealer to play them, but they got a really good review but cost a ton.
If you like a really high definition sound you might go for Von Schweickert VR1s I think they are only available used. I had Merlin TSMs, a very early model, which didn't quite cut it in the upper frequencies for me, kinda nasal but I am sure they have improved them since. I am currently using Hyperion 585 monitors which are good for the money.
There is a world of possibilities and without guidance to help us think of the right speaker the answer are going to be quite random.

My speakers are PBN Montana EPS2s, Mariasplunge. A very musical pairing, IMHO. Definitely not monitors, though. But why are monitors a requirement? The EPS2s are big (as are many comparatively efficient speakers), but they play pretty close to boundaries, a variable that has as much to do with practicality in living space as size, IMO.

My room is almost exactly the size of yours, by the way, in an "open floor plan." My critical listening is mostly south of 80db.

One intriguing possibility would be speakers with powered bass unit (eg Zu Def 4); the limitation of the 30A is mainly in the lows, if one doesn't listen too loudly.

I think you'll get more helpful advice if you narrow your price range.

Exactly. In fact, going beyond a "possibility" it would be a necessity in order to obtain more or less full range reproduction.
In this respect, the Zu mentioned above are ideal on paper -- hi sensitivity, independantly powered bass, etc.
The Revels mentioned are also very good speakers btw -- but far less easy to drive. They too would need to be paired with subwoofs (Revel make their own).

Not monitors, but I had the XA 30.5 paired with Zu's and that was a great combination.
