How are Hig-End Speakers Priced?
Jmcgrogan2, I'm one of those people who, with most things, characteristically buys once and keeps "forever"—at least, this has been the case with me with respect to audio ever since my first several years in this hobby in college—so resale value m... 
Bookshelf/Stand-Mount 3-Way Monitors: Need Help
I came upon a discussion about a "small" ATC 3-way monitor speaker that was recently (October 2009?) introduced. The SCM-25A Pro is an active, ported speaker for professional applications. It seems to have the same drivers as the floor-standing SC... 
ATC SCM's with Spectral Components
My local dealer had a pair of SCM19's shipped in last week. They were supposed to have been brand new, but they turned out to be demos, seemingly reasonably broken in. They spent Thursday afternoon through the entire weekend with me. Briefly, they... 
Bookshelf/Stand-Mount 3-Way Monitors: Need Help
Thanks for your suggestions, Seditious3, Gotog, Rodge827, and Magfan. I'm actually trying to avoid ported speakers (though I very much liked reading about the Lenehans and its back-to-fundamentals approach to speaker design) and sub-woofers. I hav...

ATC SCM's with Spectral Components
Thanks, Shadorne and Kinn. I actually was wondering whether my power amp (100 W RMS into 8 Ohms) would be adequate for the SCM11's or SCM19's. I also was wondering whether these speakers would provide accurate sound when played through my Spectral... 
Spectral MH-750 UL Series II
Thanks for the upgrade/tweaking suggestions, Drjoe and Lawrence_carmel. I bought my Spectral stuff (except for the speaker cables) and a CAL Icon Mk II new c. 1995 after listening to this system playing through some Thiels at Progressive Audio in ... 
Spectral MH-750 UL Series II
Thanks, Drjoe and Dfrost, for your input. I've just agreed to purchase a pair of pre-owned Spectral/MIT MH-750 UL Series II speaker cables (from another Audiogon member). As soon as they arrive, I'll begin auditioning monitor-type speakers at home...
