Why does it fit the bill? Looks, price, performance? I have owned some Titans and atoms, as well as the monitor series. Overall I think they are nice speakers and I was pleased with the sound. They seemed to mate well with my HK receiver. I will say that I like my current Athena's just as much though, and they were a fair amount cheaper. Let us know why you are drawn to these speakers, and perhaps we can suggest some other speakers to listen to before you make your final descision.
