My current setup has worked out fantastically. It's the Monitor Audio GR-60's, powered by an Electrocompaniet ECI-3. If you have the funds available, you can even go one better and try the GR-60's with the Electrocompaniet ECI-4 (ECI-3's big brother). I found them to complement each other fantastically. The MA's have an astounding midrange and tight, accurate bass. The highs can be a bit bright when paired with the wrong anxilliary equipment, but the warmth of the Electrocompaniet's work a treat.
Best combo - integrated amp/ speakers/$8,000
I need to select an integrated amp and small speakers, to replace my MG 3.6r and SS combo I sold due to new space limitations. I'm thinking of valve gear for the first time in my life. But I'm also considering SS stuff. I do not have time to travel and listen to all the options - there are no good dealers locally.
Here are some of the things I've read about and am considering:
AMPS
VAC Avatar Super
BAT 300x
Music Fidelity Tri Vista 300
Ayre AX7
Naim Nait 5
SPEAKERS
Harbeth HL compact 7
Reference 3A MM De Capo
Dynaudio Special 25
PSB Platinum M2
Spendor S3/5 (or other Spendor?)
Thanks for your thoughts and recommendations.
