Mini-monitors $5,000 - $10,000

I'm looking to replace my Kharma Ceramique 3.2 FE's with a very good mini-monitor. A high WAF factor (I'm a design freak too so I'm in on this too)is important. So far I'm down to the Marten Heritage Duke 2 (I've auditioned their Form speaker so I have a good idea of the "house" sound and like it) and the Joseph Audio Pulsar (which I have yet to hear).

Any thoughts on either would be appreciated as well as alternatives. No, the Raidho's are too much.

I'll be driving them with a SimAudio Moon 600i and a PS Audio PerfectWave DAC. Occasional vinyl once I get a phono amp again. I listen to pretty much everything.

Thanks in advance for your input.

Although it is somewhat larger than the models you mentioned, you may wish to consider the Daedalus Audio Pan.

A search of these forums and elsewhere will reveal lots of favorable commentary about the sound quality, suitability for use with an exceptionally wide range of amplifiers, and other attributes of Daedalus speakers. And their real wood construction, available in a variety of woods, makes their appearance very special. Also, owner/designer Lou Hinkley is a pleasure to deal with.
