dear lord, i need help...

i'm on the hunt. moniters. i am interested in imaging, but bass extension is a must,(i might not be able to add a sub), so maybe we'll work with detail and pure reproduction. i'm in the thousand dollar range(maybe 1500 if need be). i'm looking at proac tablette, gma europa, norh, spica, spendor, revel, vr 1, moniter audio, sonus faber, etc etc. i am having a tough time nailing it down, pleae guys...sound off!

I love my Reference 3A MM DeCapos. I stole them here on AudiogoN for $1000 for a perfect pair. I couldn't be happier. They replaced a more expensive speaker (from Muzikat's list!) and are better in every respect.

Plus, the DeCapos have one huge advantage over most other monitors. They are very easy to drive and can easily be powered by almost any amp. I've used them with as little as 1.5 watt/channel 45 tube amp and regularly drive them with my 3.5 watt/ch. BottleHead Paramour 2A3 tube amps. Currently I'm using 40 watt Channel Islands VMB-1 mono-blocks.

Bass is excellent for monitors. Great bass definition and extension. I love 'em!!

Enjoy,
