| Re: Monitors - Where to Start?
I recently ungraded from floorstanders to bookshelves and the best advice is demo as many speakers as you can and with your own music, preferably something that you know really well. Having a few different styles of music is also a good idea. When I auditioned speakers I had a classical cd, Nick Cave, Tori Amos, AC/DC, White Stripes, Johnny Cash, Sex Pistols etc etc. It is time consuming but rewarding when you finally find the right speaker for you. Read reviews as well but bear in mind that they are almost always subjective and not everyone has the same tastes at all.
Am not sure of pricing or availabilty in the States but try and listen to Wharfedale, B&W, Usher, Magnat, Quad, Amphion, Tannoy, the list is endless.
