Looking for the king of mini monitors under $1500

Hello,

I am looking for a list of the best mini-monitors under $1500 USD new or used.
I am moving my main system into my bedroom, so I need a speaker that does not take tons of room, and can work well in most setups.

I have a few ideas in mind, but I would like to hear yours.
The speaker must be musically evolving first and foremost.
No speakers with glaring errors need apply.

Please let me know what you think I should listen to as well as WHY.

Thanks
Nick

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.
