Looking for the king of mini monitors under $1500

Hi Nick,

I know I alread emailed you some suggestions, but for the archive and other users I thought I need to mention the Omega Super 3R, since no one else has done so. For a price way below $1500 you get electrostatic speed and transparency. The left-over money is enough to buy a sealed sub, which can be nicely integrated with the Omega's. I have and like the Spendor S3/5 as well, but did prefer the Omega's in my own system.

Some speakers I did consider, when looking around for monitors:

Omega Super 3R
Spendor S3/5
Reference 3A Dulcet or De Capo
Green Mountain Europa
Silverline SR 11, SR15, or SR17
Soliloquy 6.0i
Totem Arro

Good luck,

Rene

The Spendors mentioned above are worthy of consideration. They are very natural sounding, with a midrange that all classic Spendors are known for. I listened to just about every type of music through my old Spendors, and they never disappointed me.

My son inherited them and he loves them too.

Can't leave out used LS3/5a or better yet new Stirling broadcast LS3/5a V2 which would fit in your budget.

LS3/5a's are not just "king of mini monitors under $1500, but "king of all mini monitors at any price" (period).

Check other thread going on for near-field listening monitor that I started...plenty of good ideas, a little too pricy new but some used should fit in.
