Which monitor speaker to choose??


Looking for a monitor to work in a 12' x 14" room. Musical taste range from Jazz, Pop, Soft rock and occasionally, Classical. Considering LSA-1, Ascend Sierra, Vapor Breeze and VMPS 626R---seeking opinions. Must have great clarity, soundstaging ability, holographic and dynamic with detailed bass. Thanks!

You have to give the Lipinski L707's a listen. I have them in a 12x 14 room and they also worked in a 24x34 room with a sub. I have an all tube system, but I just got a Linn Classik for times that I only want to listen for an hour or two. They sound great hooked up to it,( I've owned all kinds of Klipsch speakers, Polk Audio, Linn Katans, Ninkas, Majik 140's and others,) but the Lipinski's have them all beat. You'd have to spend well over 10K to beat them. Remember, the best speakers in the world will only sound as good as what you feed them, no matter what anyone says. Otherwise, you could hook up any cheap high powered receiver to them, and they'd sound great. Good luck.
I owned the Sonus Faber Concertino Domus... very, very nice sound (esp. on tubes). I would take these over the newer SF monitors.
Might be worth considering Triangle Comete monitors which offer very good value I would say before sinking more cash into monitors.

Being familiar with Rebbis quest for the ultimate sound, Reference 3A is another line with some unique and valuable design considerations that has come to my attention recently that I would give a look at for potential value.
Though I own 805N, 804N and 801N, my latest and unexpected surprise come from the little 685s. Driven by a tiny Wadia 151 powerdac at 15w/channel, they sound very good. I would say close to 70-85% of the performance from my 805 at 1/4 of the cost. They are truly overachievers from B&W IMHO. They'll perfect for your room size.
Mapman -- thanks for the shout out! Yes, the Reference 3A line all feature crossover-less designs (i.e., other than a protective capacitor on the tweeter, there's no crossover between the woof/mid and the amp) and raked front baffles for time alignment.

Wcheng and Toddnkaya -- I wish there were a way to get to hear the Breeze. The Cirrus is out of my budgetary league, but if the Breeze is as good as the buzz, they must be something special. Gonna try to get to RMAF next fall and hope Ryan is there.
