that studio'ish sound


what sort of rig would give me that studio type tone....
where you sit there and can picture the musicians in the studio room...hear the room tones...
looking @ the 'hi budget' scale $$$$$(eg mistral or densen money)new or used
room is 16ft by 14ft...so i would need moniters...
i like anything w/ a electric guitar realy as far as music is concerned....
ive heard a naim rig and that is awsome but dosnt have that studio feel neither does linn or arcam(nice and paced but no room vibe).also heard an audiolab rig w/ b&w p6's and that wasnt it either(loved the toe tapping and warmth but no room vibe again)
any steer in direction would be appretiated.
thankyou

If you want "studio" sound, then use when many studios use: Bryston, Crown Studio Reference, etc., but the most important ingredient is the monitors: you won't get the dynamics and speed of a studio monitor with most domestic speakers, even audiophile ones. Get a pair of high sensitivity studio monitors: Tannoy DMT 12 or 15 or 215, or a pair of JBL 4430 or 4435, or a pair of Altec 604-8G or 604-8K. All these are available used for far less money than domestic speakers of equivalent quality would cost, plus they'll give you the energy, detail and slam that you're looking for.

Happy listening,

Joel.
