  Those are all great speakers, but he's looking for "preferably under $1000" contenders. He might be able to buy some of those used for under $1000, I guess.

    i'm familiar with LS3/5A speakers and read a 3 way shootout with them somewhere that pointed out limitations that put me off to those models. for that price range, i'd get either an ATC SCM 7 (5") or 11 (6") as all the reviews i've read praise them for their lack of coloration.
    
    i'm still trying to find out if role kayaks use the same hideous 1/2" MDF that put me off to my celestion ditton 100s, mission M-71s and energy RC-10s.
    
    it seems that for affordable acoustic suspension minimonitors, you either have to put up with lousy cabinets as with the 3 models i just mentioned, or inferior drivers that either lack resolution as with my NHT superzeros or have aluminum resonances as with their classic 3s which otherwise sound amazing for speed, imaging, detail and unboxy sound. NHT makes good boxes, but uses weak drivers.
    If it's ported, it's distorted.
