Thanks for the suggestions...I'm not familiar with the hawthorne, but I will definitely check it out. I had heard the beta 40s a year or so ago at a Circuit City and was not all that impressed, but what a horrible environment to hear anything...and the monitor audio SR6 is on my shortlist, but I've been reading other people's opinions of them being too bright. They can be heard about an hour and a half from here... I live in South Jersey and it's purt near impossible to hear anything. I stopped in a store today to hear the paradigms. After finding a salesman, I requested an audition of their lower priced monitor series. No bass. I mean none. I ask if he has his integra receiver set for "small front speakers", hence no bottom. He gives me a blank stare and then tells me I need to hear the ones with a built in sub. I say OK, he switches over to them, and ...no bass! exactly the same. He looks at the speaker and then tells me..Well you need a separate sub for real bass. Sheeesh....it was no better at Best Buy where EVERYTHING sounded goddawful including the Martin Logan Montage...
