Feel free to talk me off the ledge

Just picked up my new Rogue RP-1 from a dealer. That coupled with my Rogue Atlas, then to my Klipsch Heresy IV's with an SVS PB2000 pro has me over the moon right now. But funny thing happened at the dealer.. I couldn't help myself, I listened to some other speakers. I'm an idiot, a glutton, a fool. As you can imagine I'm now about a third the way down the rabbit hole. 

At the dealer I was enchanted by a pair of Golden ear BRX monitors, they were so sweet, airy and open. Can't stop thinking about them.

Now I'm looking at:

Paradigm founder 80F

Tyler Time Keepers

The Golden Ear BRX

Vandersteen's among others..

Am I nuts? should I join a support group (other than the other one I'm already in) ?

Feedback always appreciated

Your first mistake was leaving home and listening to other gear. Let that be a lesson to you.

Looks like the GoldenEar BRX's measure pretty well - smooth on-axis and off-axis response.

 

Based on your impression, my suggestion is to give the Revel Performa3 series a listen.

"sweet, airy and open" 

I think Totems do that too

Good news is people love Heresy speakers so they sell quickly.

I don't know theTylers but they could be the best bang for the $.

Wont resell like the Heresy though.

I have heard the BRX and was impressed. Not as coherent

as I like. ProAc does well with matching ribbons to woofers.

I heard the Paradigm Founders 120H a few months back and loved it.

 

Vandys are popular but do nothing for me personally.

 

You have a toe in the water now. Hope you are

a good swimmer!

If the 80 is of the same bloodlines it should be good. Founders

is a new line many have not heard yet.
