Looking for a warm budget monitors???


I am shopping around for warm sounding budget monitors to be paired with an Eastern Electric M520 tube amp. I am looking for a full-bodied sound - musicality over detail. I primarly listen to jazz and classical. Budget is less than 1K please. Any suggestions??

Thanks,

John

I've been thinking of upgrading my 10-year-old B&W 805s (pre-nautilus). I paid over $2K but would sell for $1k or so. I think they're quite musical and warm, and the imaging is great. They don't suffer from the brightness that some people attribute to the newer B&W tweeters. They're not terribly efficient, though, and I don't know the power of your amp. My 85-watt Creek integrated is more than powerful enough for my moderately sized room and moderate listening levels.

In a lower price category, I recently checked out the Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 for a friend. $350/pair. I was most impressed with the sound quality at that price.
Coincident Triumph matches your desires perfectly. Very tube-friendly load, too.
