Upgrading - - recommendations monitor speaker?


well upgrading might not be the appropriate word but maybe resizing will :p

what i have now : Mirage OM-9 2 times.. Mirage BPS 150i
drivin the OM-9 with my Bryston 2blp pro amplifier!

this is my personal room setup ..
used mainly for music/movies/games from my HTPC

what i would like is to go with a smaller studio like pair of speakers coupled with a different subwoofer..

first reason is that i've been trying to accoustically treat my room and there is just nothing that i can do that will give me a really good sound
then the OM speakers are going in the living room for home theater with a new TV :)

i would like to have recommendations on a really really really good pair of monitors that i could use for myself..

i need something that will play somewhat loud and still give me a great feeling from the larger sized cabinets..

will be powered with the bryston 2b for now..maybe i'll updgrade amplifier later on!

i am not afraid to buy used.. i have a budget that range into the 600-800$ USD for the pair and maybe 300-500$ for a good musical subwoofer!

thanks for your time and input! :)

proac tablettes. i have been running them with an old m&k sub .....sounds great to me.
I would HIGHLY recommend the Quad "12L" speakers. For new you can most likely find a dealer that will sell for around the $800.00-$850.00 mark. Full range sound with tight "punchy" bass that will amaze you.

In addition the cabinetry and piano finish are world class.

The first time I heard them, I bought them!

I know some good Quad dealers in Southern California and N.H. that would most likely give you a decent price. Email me for further info.

Happy hunting!

I agree with got2buzz...I own the Quad 12Ls as well...and they are a remarkable bargain considering sound and build quality...they are however very revealing with electronics and recordings...you will hear everything..."warts" and all...but on a stellar recording...they transport you "into' the music...
ok cool i'll look into the Quad 12ls ..
maybe i can get a good deal on a used pair!

what subwoofer for music?

i also use it for movies so i want something that i can turn on a little when watching movies :)

but i absolyutly need something fast..

my BPS150i from mirage is really nice..just a tad on the slow response time for tight passage ..
it is also rather hard to place right since it's bipolar configuration makes some bass problems for the room's modes.. :( ( well in a small room neway )
Is there any small electrostatic monitor or small sized speakers that have great definition ? i would maybe be interested in that just for the kick :)
eheh ..

need to find somewhere to listen to speakers ( someplace where they carry a few different brands..gee hehe )
