Reference Monitor Recommendations Help-Please

Hello All,

I'm looking for input on some high quality reference monitors. I have a small room 12' x 13'. I'll probably use a Bryston 3B SST or 4B SST Amp and already have a Bryston BP25MC Preamp. For a Subwoofer, I already have a SVS 20-39 PC Plus (525W Active)ready to go. I'd like to keep the Monitors price $2,500.00 or under. Not too fatiguing on the ears but with rich (Musical) sound. Also looking for recommended speaker wire type and brand (under $1K). Respected Audiophiles, thank you very much in advance.

HI,
I'M USING THE SHAMROCK AUDIO EIRE & MACWIRE DELTA SPEAKER CABLES. THE SHAMROCK CAN BE COMPARED TO THE VANDERSTEEN 5'S.
I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT TRYING OTHER SPEAKERS BUT THESE HAVE SUCH A BALANCED PRESENTATION (& BASS TO MID 30,S) THE "WHY" QUESTION ALWAYS COMES UP.

CORDIALLY,
RAMSES

Hello,

Check out Tyler Acoustics line of monitor's here on AGon or Tyler web site. Used Linnbrooks go for around $2k or so (with warranty if purchased directly from Tyler). I have Linnbrook monitors for about a year now and while I have changed every other component in my system the Linnbrooks have and will stay.

I second the Tyler's, they are a sweet musical speaker.

What about the Audio Physic Virgo? version 2 can easily be found under 2500. Then try Transparent or Cardas speaker cables...

Great imaging, great warm rich sound...about 6-8 inches wide...2 feet deep...small footprint.

I agree about the SHAMROCK AUDIO EIRE. They sound very sweet with a good bass response. They also use great drivers. They use Scanspeak drivers. Here's a review and pic of the speakers. http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/masz08.htm
