Please recommend flat "airy" speakers (budget: $1K-$2K/pair)
(Don't laugh, but) I enjoy my two Monsoon PC panel speakers and would
like to have the same "open" and "airy" feeling from my home stereo speakers. Can someone please point me in the direction of what I should purchase, models I should explore, or websites? Direct URLs are appreciated. Pete Indian Trail, NC |

Pete Indian Trail, NC I too have a pair a Monsoons and always thought that they were the best sounding of all the PC speaker systems. The only way that I can help you is to say that Magnaplanar loudspeakers have many of the same characteristics as the Monsoons: dipolar, dispersion gives that open and airy sound. The speakers themselves are physically flat and therefore fairly phase coherent and the diaphragms are light giving good transient response. The Magnaplanar MG 1.6's are about $1700/pair and are real bargains. Electrostatics are another way to go. Again, like the Monsoons they are flat panels, dipolar, fast and airy. Martin Logan makes a new pair of Electrostatic hybrids called the "Source" at $2000/pair, I understand that they are dynamite. I have a pair of Martin Logan Aeon i speakers which cost me about $4000 at the time. I love them. I replaced a pair of Magnaplanar MG IIIcs with them. Both have that Monsoon quality only MUCH better. |

I would recommend that you look into Martin-Logan's electrostatic speakers.
They are a well known brand and offer an airy boxless sound that you would probably instantly fall in love with. They have models at various price points, so you should be able to find one you can afford. -- --DaveW "RemotePortal" wrote in message ...

Pete Indian Trail, NC If you are used to using the monssons you probably have a subwoofer with them. You may not have enough room for the Magneplanar MG 1.6 either. The MMG "factory direct" may be what's for you. They retail for $550 plus shipping and can only be ordered from the factory......magneplanar.com I use them with an SVS sub of very large proportions and they are dynamite. In fact, they have a leg up on the slower and larger MG 1.6 ......... |
