Thanks for the advice, and I agree. When listening to a pair of speakers for the first time, I just kick back, and and open my ears. It usually doesnt take long to decide if I like them. Something inside me must go "oohhhhhhh", I like that....if that doesnt happen, I move on. I have heard the Monitor Gold Reference 60's, and I liked them, tried ta get an in home audition from the custom installer that carries them in this area, but was not happy with the way they wanted to handle the transaction. They wanted me to pay in full up front, and for insurance reasons, wanted me to pay to have them deliverd, and picked up if I didnt like them, to the tune of $75 a pop. With a price tag of 4 grand, plus tax, and them delivering the Monitor's, I was lookin at 5 grand just listen for a week. Ummmmmmmmmmm....no. No other audio store carries the Monitor Gold series in this area, at least not yet.

Again, Thnx for the reply.
