Hi - I am in search of a monitor that will:- not sound like a small speaker
- sound emotional, warm and inviting, like Vienna Acoustics
- provide startling, pinpoint IMAGING, with huge soundstage
- provide some real bass (i.e. below 40 hz)
- cost up to $3,000 new.Yes, the V.A. Haydn is a monitor, and has warm V.A. sound, but it does not provide a huge soundstage or "real" bass
I have Paradigm Studio 20s, and they are excellent but they are not WARM (metal tweeter) and they do not provide startling pinpoint IMAGING.
Thanks for any ideas!
Hukk
