Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo Ref Mons +Sub vs. Towers for Best Stereo Music System

Hi,

As I indicated in a previous posting on 'Stereo or Surround for Music Only Room' , I have the opportunity to create an area devoted to critically listening to music. I'm interested in creating the best possible stereo system for music only. The question that arises is would I be better served by getting a set of high end towers, or by getting a set of Reference Monitor type of bookshelves and a really tight sub-woofer. I'm looking for the maximum detail, best widest and deepest soundstage, and that ineffable factor that one might call 'musicality' .

What would you suggest and what experiences have you had? My previous posting has more details about the room and my 'needs'.

Thanks
