what's the best "mini monior" these days

Newton: yes, I have heard them. I liked them, they image well (to be expected from a well-designed monitor), and they produce an impressive sound (dynamic, fast, extended in the hi register...) BUT:
-- I felt they need lots of driving power behind them to sound tonally balanced hence, expensive electronics
-- They were MUCH better (i.e. more "complete" and "correct" sounding) when mated with a sub -- in my case it was an A-P sub.
Audition before you buy.

I would love to hear the Reference 3a Dulcet, the VOn Shiekwert vr-1, and the Green Mountain Europas...these...along with the Quads would be my first choices...the Revel m20 is nice too....

I don't know the answer in fact I'm asking a question. Just bought the Unison Research Unico integrated hybrid amp. has 80 watts of power. Now I'm looking for monitors or small floors that excel on vocals. I'm buying these for my wife as a surprise. I'm a pro cyclist and hence not home a lot. She loves music and hasn't upgraded in nine years. She mainly listens to female vocals. Can you help??? thanks, DF

reference 3a De Capo I is the best I've heard...of course i'm biased since i own them ;).
