AudiogoN Forums: Monitors $1,000 to $2,000?

Monitors $1,000 to $2,000?

Just getting started here. Currently I am looking at:

o Joseph Audio RM7si MK2s
o Monitor Audio Gold Reference (GR) 10s

It is a mid- to large-sized room so a sub will likely eventually be paired. Music selection will vary widely with an emphasis on Jazz and Blues, most likely sourced from a universal player to be deterimed and amped from either a Unico/ Unison Research or a nicely moded Jolinda 302B.

So...

o Which would your pick be?
o What else should I look at?
o Which amp would you pair with?

Thanks so much!

I own the Greem Mountain Callisto. They are at the top of your price range, but are well worth your time. They are easy to drive (I'm using 15 watt of tube power) and throw a huge soundstage. I swear I can hear the musicians play the notes. I have purchased more music and spent more time listening than ever before. They also have a demo program, but be forwarned. I doubt you will send them back. Good luck!
