Your Primaluna amp and Aric Audio Unlimited pre (I own one too) are quite midrange heavy to begin with. Depending on the types of music you listen, a midrange heavy speaker could make the overall tone too unbalanced. If it were me, I'd look for something that is generally balanced. My personal favorite is Dynaudio X14 and it should fit in your budget if you can find one used. Good luck.
Looking for a monitor with great midrange
Hi everyone. I've decided to sell my tower speakers and make the move to a good quality monitor due to a move. I've been looking around for over a week now. I have to admit, the amount of speakers out there came as a surprise to me and I've been in this hobby for close to 35 yrs now. I've decided that the best way to weed them out is through the process of elimination considering what I enjoy the most. For example, the midrange, great imaging and soundstage. I thought that it would be helpful if some of you could drop a few names for me to look at during this process. Budget you say? 1k more or less. I've learned I don't need to spent thousands of dollars to get good sound. Thank you for your time and recommendations.
