What mini-monitors should I audition?


I am looking for your input on what mini-monitors should I audition. These speakers are for my 2nd system (family room) that include the Meridian 508.24 CD Player and the Magnum Dynalab MD-208 Receiver (amp and tuner). I prefer something small in size without compromising the sound quality (yes, I understand, limited bass). My local Retailer suggests I listen to the Revel M22 loudspeaker, the Joseph Audio Rm7si Signature speaker and the Acoustic Engery AE1 MkIII speaker. I hope to listen to these speakers next week. Your comments and advice are appreciated. Thanks..

Well, if you're going to listen to this speakers next week, you don't need our help. Go with what you love. Listen, however, for a good (minimum) half hour to a wide variety of music. I use to own the Revel M20s. I believe it's the same speaker. Just some new marketing ploy to get another couple of hundred dollars. I like the old ones (the look, that is) better. You can always go for them used and save a bundle. If price is no boundary, though it seems that it is, get back to us and we'll push the monitor envelope for ya. The Revels have a substantial bottom end, but will sound better, as will all your choices, on excellent stands. The stock Revel stands are poor. Stands are a major factor to bring out the best in your speakers. peace, warren
