Tony,

Indeed I had the Paradigm 5 and 7 area in mind. B&W is a very good brand but maybe a bit too high in cost right now - maybe next upgrade. I take that back... if you run a subwoofer, listen to the DM601. Just my personal experience here, but with PSB I lean toward the Stratus line - definitely out of the ballpark here.

I am leaning more and more toward the SD 300Ti recommendation - remember you can return them, but I doubt if you will do so after you have them set up.

Best regards,

Alan

: : Sadly I don't have a Tannoy dealer anywhere near me so I can't comment on the M2's. With Paradigm I do recommend going up higher in the line than the Mini... it's a good speaker but let's head upward a bit. Don't forget the Sound Dynamics 300Ti from Audio Advisor at $500 with stands.

: The Tannoy M2 I mentioned are bokkshelf speakers at the same price point as the Mini-monitors so I guess you think I should shoot higher than that. In the Paradigm line might you be thinking the Monitor 3 or Monitor 5? Maybe the Phantom or is that too close to the Titan.
: I believe the Monitor 5 is a floor stander. Do you think floor standers are appropriate for my room which is a modest 12.5ft by 14ft? The speakers would be facing the long wall.
: Do you have any thoughts on speakers from NHT, PSB or B&W or any other companies?
: I saw the Sound Dynamics 300ti in Audio Advisor. They are intriguing. Have you heard them?
: Thanks for your help Alan.

: Happy Holidays
: Tony
