Is $3000 pushing the limits for a geat monitor??

I want to go to a monitor speaker because I cannot physically handle the weight and size of a 80lbs floor standing speakers any longer.

I have looked at several monitors like the Sonus Faber Venere MKII series; Lenaham ML-1 made in Australia, Spendor, Harbeth. I have listened to the older Dynaudio Excite 12 and new version, Excite 14. I like the sound of both of the latter speakers, but the dealer insists I hear the Dynaudio Focus 160. Unfortunately, he has none in stock to buy or for audition.

Therefore, any member currently own a pair of the Focus 160, or have auditioned them recently. I need some good feedback about this model's sound quality before charging in and buying them. I also want to get opinions about whether a monitor can compete with a large floorstander. Thanks to all !!!!!

Sunnyjim, I recommend that you speak to Fritz of Fritz speakers. He' in LA
and has been building speakers for decades. Perhaps you 're aware of him. I've spoken to him and I know that he would graciously come to your home with some offerings. Nothing like hearing products in your system in your room. He'll make recommendations based on your listenening tastes. Nothing to lose.
