David. I do not know which Monitor your dealer is recommending, but I started out listening to the Monitor 7 and studio 60. A few days later I auditioned the M22, M60 and M80 at Axiom.

The Monitor 7 was just not in the same class of speaker as the rest.

I have been whining here about $300 BD players. I could not imagine paying $1000+ for a piece of equipment that sends 0s and 1s to my avr for processing. At least the Oppo gives you the ability to play SACD and DVD-A.
