Reference Monitor Recommendations Help-Please

I also recommend Tyler linnbrooks and the reference moniters. I have both, they are detailed and non fatiging. These speakers are very sensitive, you would do nicely with the 3B. The linnbrooks are a little fuller in soundstage while the ref moniters price would allow to match a sub if you so choose.

Another vote for Ty's speakers. Owned the Ref Monitors and now own the Linbrooks. Amps were 4B-ST and then 4B-SST on both the Ref Monitors. The bigger Bryston squeezed out a little more bass. The Linbrooks will give you a better low end and while I've never used a sub for music I understand that people who use the Ref Mons and a sub are very happy. You could probably buy a used pair of Refs and a sub for less than the Linbrooks if you are looking for deep bass. Get good stands which ever model you go with. Let us know how things turn out.

Green Mountain Audio,SPendors, or Sonus Faber...all make excellent, musical, non-fatiguing monitors...with unreal transparency...and 3-d imaging to die for...good luck...

Rgd is right on with the stands. Get the best you can afford. Stands are a major (fundemental) extension of your speaker and will have a significant effect on the sound of your monitors. I use the Sistrum Mini Monitor Platforms. Yeah, they are pricey, but they are the most unbelievable stands: visually and, of course, sonically. Most audiophools do not take into consideration the stands when dropping the big $$ on killer monitors. My particular stands have a baby brother; while not better, are also unbelievable. Cool to look at (like no other stand you've ever seen) and wait 'til you hear what they'll do for your speakers. check 'em out. peace, warren

Silverline's SR17's are outstanding monitors. They have no right to sound the way they do being so small. You will not believe the sound coming out of them, and set up properly they are as invisible as the holy spirit!
