Description

I am looking to start a system in my bedroom. This is the system I intend to start thus far. I am looking for some suggestions, mainly speakers ($1000-$2500). There are very few high-end audio shops in my area, so I am working off reviews/comments. I am looking for a speaker with excellent midrange/high-end; I listen primilialy to music with female vocals. I also listen to some rock music once in a while, so I am looking for something that can handle different music genres. Bass response doesn't matter, and size does, so I figured a monitor would be best. I read good things about JMlabs, Sonus Faber, Ohm Acoutics, and B&W. I love the sound of Mission. Are there any higher priced speakers with similiar sound? What do you recommend? Please no cable suggestions!

    • Antique Sound Labs Wave 1
    Very impressed by the simple no-nonsense design. Afterall, preamps are only a very simple series of resistors and transformers.
    • Kimber PBJ
    As far as I am concerned this is far beyond overkill, but considering the price of the system.
    • Antique Sound Labs AV-20
    Small monoblock tube amplifer.
    • Joseph Audio RM-7si

I've been using a combination of Dynaudio Contour 1.3 se monitor speakers with the Air Tight tube amps. I also primarily listen to female vocals and found this combination suited my taste. If your looking at Jolida you may also want to check out Antique Sound Lab. ASL has some very nice tube equipment.
