What are your favorite monitors?


I'm interested to hear what your favorite monitors are, both for general reasons and specific reasons. There seem to be a lot of quality monitors out there and it's an easy size to deal with. I'd like to become more familiar with more of them.

For the more specific reason. I'm going to be able to set up a small system in a small room using a modified SS Blue Circle integrated amp and RA Opus 21 CDP. Right now I have a pair of Spendor S3/5 speakers that are very good and this is the approximate size box I'm interested in, but larger are fine too. For this small system are there other monitors that you might recommend, that perhaps have a synergy with BC electronics? With so many monitors available and few available for local demo I would appreciate your critiques of the speakers you like.

I use Audience Au24 speaker cables. My music preference is for mostly classical (not a lot of orchestral), jazz, space music, bluegrass, finger picking acoustic guitar, and some rock music (but don't expect to rock out). I don't like bright speakers. The speakers may not be able to be too far out from the wall; consider this near-filed listening. Since the majority of monitors are not terribly expenisve I'm open to most suggestions price-wise. Thanks.

Has anyone ever had the pleasure of hearing the Duntech PCL 15 "Little Dutchess" speaker. They are no longer in production although there is a brand new pair on ebay for 1600.00. This has to be the most remarkable little speaker I have heard. As well, for the money and sheer musicality, you would be hard pressed to better the Totem Model 1 given the appropriate equipment.
Srajan of 6moons.com, herard the Caravelles at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. They freaked him out. He's doing a review on them next month. You can go to the 6moons site to get some of the scoop as to what his thoughts were at the RMAF. I'm looking forward to the review. It's nice to hear someone raving other than myself, about these babies. peace, warren
Freaked him out? That could be good or bad depending on your interpretation of getting freaked out ; )
