Which monitor speaker to choose??


Looking for a monitor to work in a 12' x 14" room. Musical taste range from Jazz, Pop, Soft rock and occasionally, Classical. Considering LSA-1, Ascend Sierra, Vapor Breeze and VMPS 626R---seeking opinions. Must have great clarity, soundstaging ability, holographic and dynamic with detailed bass. Thanks!

Not sure of your price range but I've had a parade of monitors come and go in my listening room, including Sierra 1's, LSA Statements, PSB Synchrony 1B and Merlin TSM-mmi. All have their strengths and of course so much has to do with your taste, room and associated equipment. But my current rig uses a pair of Reference 3A Dulcets and I am extremely pleased with them: fast, lively, musical, direct, surprisingly solid bass and holographic imaging and sound staging like nobody's business. Check 'em out.
Mapman -- thanks for the shout out! Yes, the Reference 3A line all feature crossover-less designs (i.e., other than a protective capacitor on the tweeter, there's no crossover between the woof/mid and the amp) and raked front baffles for time alignment.

Wcheng and Toddnkaya -- I wish there were a way to get to hear the Breeze. The Cirrus is out of my budgetary league, but if the Breeze is as good as the buzz, they must be something special. Gonna try to get to RMAF next fall and hope Ryan is there.
