Recommed a medium sized monitors that can go loud


I want to downsize my speakers from a floor stander (Acoustic Zen Adagios)to a "medium size" monitor or "MAYBE" a slim profile and light weight floor stander that can play loud, but also sound clean, transparent, and musical.

I have a Rogue integrated hybrid amp(100RMS) and a Ayre CX-7e mp CD player. So far, I have considered: KEF LS-50; Harbeth 30.1;.... Harbeth new SHL Super Plus( too expensive).... Monitor Audio Gold GX-100; Devore O/93 ( too expensive and possibly overrated) Scansonic MB-2.5; B&W's 804 or 805; KEF 300R; I can spend about $3000-3500 for used mint speakers, possibly a little more.

Please note: I saw two separate ads on Audiogon for KEF LS-50's that sold within a week; yet. I cannot believe that these speakers have any real bass or don't sound bright or lean..... Thank you.

I would recommend a pair of Focal monitors from the electra line 1008Be's. However your electronics may not bring out the best in them and they may even sound harsh. I have a pair and drive them with all Pass electronics xp-20 / xa100.5 combination and they sound fantastic. They are very detailed and transparent and not harsh and can play very loudly; depending on room size. I listen primarily to classical large symphonic works, female jazz vocals and classic rock (zeppelin, floyd).

Good Luck in your search.
i just bought bryston mini t's sight unseen or heard,i also  have kef ls 50,,, and r 300's i have a small listening room �and was going to get merlins,,,,,but WOW bryston has made one hell of a speaker for nothing! man these are awesome i highly recommend  them!! these have PUNCH and as clear as anything i have had even planar and ribbon speakers,, although they are not pretty ,i did put lipstick on a pig.. i put brass feet on them and brass screws on the face of them or u would never even knotice them ,, the rest of my system is cary audio plus onkyo m 510 , audio note and mcintosh, i have many systems with tube and without,,,,,,,,GREAT JOB BRYSTON!!! i have not heard there amps but they're next,,,i am stunned at what i am hearing and seeing ,ok good luck!,,,,next on the list model t's for the living room!!!!
If you like monitor audio dont be shy. They represent great value and are very musical and neutral. The 2nd tier is especially wallet and ear friendly.  they will never be praised like kef or b&w im afraid, bit i care more abour my ears than anyone else. ;-)

If i couldnt build my own speakers, monitor audio is one of the very few big name brands that wouldnt make me feel cheated.
If I were going to buy a small speaker, I'd go with the Harbeth line. Forget "loud." Harbeth speakers make music.
