Have you auditioned anything non-Polk lately?

[Dennis47 974]

Do the Monitor 10(B?)'s have rebuilt XOs?

If not, you might want to upgrade them XOs...then they may surprise ya.

I owned some Klipsh Epic CF1's like 10 years ago really enjoyed them and where the speaker that I chose over my first set of Monitor 10's when I had to choose one system when I was running two at the time. So would love some again.

Im not very handy with the soldering iron, and even thou these are the newer Monitor 10's they sure could benefit from the refresh

There is a guy who has a set of klipsch kg 4.2 and he swears by them but I dunno

If you still have your sub Bryan and want to stay with a small footprint, check out the new Magnepan LRS.  The sound only ribbon type speakers provide.

Altec 19's....no sub needed! ( I'm slightly biased...)?

[DrummerJuice 1,287]

What amp will you be rocking them with? What type of music do you prefer? What types of speakers do you prefer or have you not heard yet? (horn, ribbon, electrostatic, sealed, ported, dipole, Ohm Walsh) Room size, shape and materials? 

 

I'm hoping that the answers will help with your quest... I haven't heard enough different kinds to be of any help. lol

Where's DaddyJt when you need him? lol
