You definately need to listen for yourself. I, and many other that I have read about, find the VR series better than the VRM series. I also prefer the VR2 and VR3 over the Paradigm Studio 40 and 60 hands down. I dont find the tweeter warm at all, I find it much more accurate that the Paradigm...

I am currently auditioning speakers as I am not satisfied with what I am currently running. Has anyone heard the Boston VRB? It seems the tower VR series has gotten much more attention

yes I need to turn it up much higher to reach the same volume as my old speakers. Also, my old speakers were more sensitive

I currently have a Marantz SR5400 and just picked up some Monitor Audio S2's at a great price. They sound great, but the Marantz has a much harder time pushing them that the previous speakers I had. Any suggestions? Should I sell in an pick up something like a NAD receiver for a few hundred...

Well I pulled the trigger on the MA S2's and they are arriving on Monday. I'll let you guys know what I think after some I give them a good run.

Greg thanks for the reply. I was thinking the same thing and going with the S2. I was just reading over at another forum, and they were talking about how the Monitor Audio products are crap. They were saying they were great years ago, but now are not. That got me pretty concerned

Hey everyone I have pretty much narrowed my choice for a new 5.1 down to the Monitor Audio silver series. My question is does anyone know of the difference between the new RS series and the older S series. I can pretty much get the older larger S2 for the same price as the RS1. Thanks for...

Evan, Thanks for the invite, I may have to take you up on that offer. I have been getting around to see what else is out there. I have heard numerous types of speakers, and have decided I need to hear every speaker brand out there!!! Ok maybe impossible, but I love hearing the differences...

It seems as though the same speakers are brought up here most of the time. I was wondering about some other brands we dont here too much about, but look like nice speakers. Does anyone have any experience with ACI, Tyler and any other brands that are not frequently brought up here? How do...

Very interesting thread, I was very interested in the Monitor speakers a while back when I was looking for a new system. I found a local store that carried the MA Bronze, so I lugged my Axiom M22's down on a saturday. Lucky for me, there was another customer there who had brought his Paradigm...

John Garcia, I have a question about those parts express stands that you have. I have been looking for new stands as well -What is the size of the top plate of those stands, the website doesnt tell -And also, are they 24" without the spikes? How tall are they with the spikes? Thank you

I have Triangle Titus 202's I know I should just pull the trigger and get one, I dont feel that Ill being making a mistake either way just like to see if others have had any experience with either of them

I am looking for a new receiver. I narrowed it down to two, which I can get locally cheap. Harman Kardon AVR235 and the Marantz SR4500 I dont have much knowledge in receivers, I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on which is the better choice I can get them both for just about the...

I will also give a big thumbs up for the HSU STF1 Fantastic little sub, so much more than any $300 sub from BB will give you

Craig Ball, I was looking to pick up the HK230, is there any reason you are getting rid of it?
