Check out the Revel M20s. Sometimes you can find them in the under 1000 dollar range. I've owned them twice and would love to have them back.
Monitors Suggestions for my setup
I recently setup a secondary system in my bed room. It is 11x13 with a queen sized bed and a desk. This is going to be a two channel system consiting of components which have been deomoted out of my main rig. It consists of a Onkyo ht Reciver (tx-ds797)(manual says its stable into 4ohms) which retailed for $1000, a pair of old sony speakers from a boom box I used to have and a paradigm ps-1200 sub. I want to replace the sonys with something much better. I listen to all types of music. I currently have paradigm studio 100 v.2's im my main rig and like them but I just want something that sounds different. (I just want to be able to switch between the two systems and get different sounds) I am also looking for something that looks very nice and am willing to spend up to $1000 in the used market. I am really concerned with having smooth mids and highs first and not too worried about bass performance. So far I am considering the Sonus Faber Concertinos, Monitor Audio gr-10 and on the not so pretty side GM Eropas, and NHT sb3. Thanks for any help you can give me.
