Stasis,
When I sit in front of a speaker that sell's for 5k I should be left with a good feeling.
This does not happen when I sit in front of Monitor Audio gear.
One Local dealer has it set up with CJ gear and uses A3CD Player.This set up should sound good.It does not.its not musical.Just lacking and does not get me taping my foot.
At an Audio show they dealer had A Musical Fidelity Nu Vista set up pre amp Cd player and Various Monitor speakers.
Sounded ok but for the $ involved it did not get me exicted.I took the same CD to other rooms and listened to many systems that where more involving.
My main comment was do not buy without listining to a speaker.
DO NOT BUY BASED ON REVIEWS.
Listen for yourself.
You don need to be smart to figure out that audio magazine's are in the business of selling add's.Thats all they do.Do you think they will give a negative review to anyone who takes out full page color add's.
