I blame him for my current catch-22.
Don't get me wrong I do take his opinions very highly.
Most of the time his opinions on audio as subject matter has been very informative. Once in a while...which is very little..he would drop a brand or two...which has at one point of time ekked his curiosity. So I went out and looked into some of this "interesting" Brands. Now I have gotten the itch AGAIN!!!!!!
Here is a short list of my current upgrade-itis condition:
tie
1st Magnepan MG12

1st Theil 1.6 or 2.3 if I can afford it

2nd Revel Performa M20

3rd Dynaudio 1.3MK2

4th Proac 1S
http://www.stereophile.com/showarchives.cgi?386
Again if you noticed I have a bias for mini monitor/bookshelf or really small floorstanders. Well the Maggies fall into another category...big..in the way...totally different...too weird..I gotto have design..kinda feelin. Most of these have a nice rolled off highs which I enjoy better and easier on the ears. All will be compensated in the lower frequency with my musical sub(If there is such a thing). Hope to get a decision in the next couple of months just before I move into my new place in Feb 04.
