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!

    • Philips DVD-963SA
    SACD/DVD Player. Highly rated by Audio

    Elite MD Player. I already own this unit, and love it.
    • Panamax Max 500
    Cheap Line Conditioner
    • Generic No Name
    12 AWG
    • 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
    Best in Show

Thanks for the Antique Sound Lab recommendation. Their equipment is very reasonable in price, and simple in design. As a physicist I was very impressed by their design. I've thrown out the Creek idea and replaced it with the Wave 1, (2) Wave AV-8h, and (2) Wave AV-8 combo.
