Quad 11L Classic

I thought he said no British MONITORS, so it could be a British floorstander?

KEF is really popular these days...

How do you like those Rega RS-5's?

I haven't bought them yet, and won't have them in house until next year. But, I did audition them for almost 4 hours and liked them enough to still want them, despite having auditioned them almost 6 months ago. At the time, I couldn't overcome the nightmare idea of starting over. But since then, I've already cleaned house quite a bit and am more comfortable with the idea.

They struck em as great "all around" speakers, and worked well with a number of genres of music. They're flexible, as far as placement, unobtrusive, and undemanding of amplification.

I can't wait to hear what's next for Art. I know I'd like to hear the Reynaud's, but I guess we'll have to wait and see what's next. Fortunately, Harbeths seem to sell fast.

I like them also. Enough that they would be in the running if I went to floor standers. I do have a pair of the Rega RS-1's that I like for what they do well.

We've owned some similar pieces. I used to have an all Rega setup with a Mira 3, Apollo, P5 and R5's. The Harbeth's have been here for 1 1/2 yrs....and yes I've already decided! The P3's went up for sale yesterday.

Congratulations! The decision process is the toughest part. If that's out of the way, you're almost home. There were not many, or any P3's available used last time I looked, so yours should move fast. :)

He stated earlier he was looking for a standmount. So it is a standmount but not British. With the ability to do scale and highs that are not too bright.

My guess is Dynaudio.
 
I struck a deal on them this morning and will pay tomorrow and hope they will be here by Memorial weekend. Still have the P3's to sell but borrowed the dough from my wife until I sell the Harbeths.
 
Ooh...I think you will like those a lot.

I've heard them but have spent more time with a pair of passive Dynaudio studio monitors that I love (and that look to contain similar drivers?). This ad campaign that I've been working on for 5 years has been mixed on those monitors and I've spent a lot of hours listening to everything from music to jet engines to raw drums to anything you can think of and I've always been impressed with how uncannily accurate the timbre is on those speakers. The sound engineer did a lot of field recordings with soundfield mics and whatnot and we'd listen to the raw sounds and it was just like you were there with whatever it was, however cliche' that sounds. I almost ran out and bought a pair of Dynaudios for home after that. Heck, I still might if the Super HL-5 thing doesn't pan out.
