ProAc 1.5, Joseph Audio RM22si, Tyler Ref. monitor

I am sure the Dynaudio is a fine speaker. But if john atkinson likes it, I would think twice. I bet it measures very good. Please, do not buy on a reviewer's say so. You will get much more useful information from some of the Agon members than you will from the professional reviewers. Just my opinion. Do like Mraybeck did. Audition for yourself.

You bring up a good point, Brulee - and I agree completely. However, with so many fine products available, the vast majority of which are difficult for many A-goners to audition, reviews are a good STARTING point. They also provide a far better technical description of the product, design philosophy, etc. than I could ever provide in a short post. In the end, this hobby is highly subjective and you must like what YOU hear, regardless of what any experienced A-goner or reviewer thinks. Just my .02

That's a nice list of speakers, and like most everyone else I agree that you really need to audition things for yourself as listening is so very subjective. Everyone weighs attributes so differently it's a wonder that recommendations are of any value at all! That having been said, I must suggest that you audition the Merlin TSM Millenium. I have amazed more than a few listeners with this speakers big, deep soundstage, incredible balance and natural tone. From folk to new age, its a winner and right in your price range. If you'd like more information don't hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,
Mario
