What slim$1000 speakers will match Bryston B-60 ?

Vienna Acoustics Bach or Ruark Prologue may work for you. The Bachs sell for $1500-1700 new, depending on wood finish and the Ruarks sell for around $2K. Both are available used occaisionally for around $1K.

Totem Arros, maybe?

Bryston distributes PMC speakers; don't know if they are slim and $1000, but chances are Bryston feels they are a good match with their electronics. You might want to investigate and contact them.

I agree with the above posts you should definately check out Vienna Acoustics. They should give give you what your looking for. I also like the Totems

Epos M15.

Thanks for all the suggestions. In a way I have partially solved my earlier problem with regard to the 'nasal' midrange (strong bass response 'invading' miderange) of the Athena AS-F2. When I placed my speakers further away from the back wall to ~ 5', and side wall about 4' in my 15'(W)X30'(L)X8'(H) family room, the midrange becomes clearer and my earlier complain dissipate. Still, the soundstage is not as transparent (layer-rich) as I anticipated (based on my previous experience with a pair of Dynaaudio Audience 8.0, but then the Dynaaudio is almost 3X the price of the Athena). My Athena now is about 6 ' apart and my listening position is about 7 ' away from midline, and with the speakers toed-in at about 20 degree. Any more suggestions will be welcome.

Bryston and Maggies make a great combo...the mg12 is a very underated speaker...about $1100...they also make a direct purchase model...the MMG...which is about half that...with about 90% of the performance of the MG12...still...the Bryston deserves a world class speaker...and the 12s are that in spades...used 1.6s would be the ultimate ticket...good luck

Removing the speaker front grill is absolutely essential for the Athena AS-F2. It is like pulling the curtain open in your room to let in the sunlight.
