I don't normally like to promote brands in forums but I noticed you said you don't live near a lot of audio shops.
Axiom is an online only company known for their excellent speakers, and truly outstanding customer service. Since Paradigm has already been referenced I'll mention that their floor standers, M60s and M80s are often compared to Paradigm's top Studio series but will cost you less. What made me break my rule for you is that they will talk to you about your requirements, recommend some models and they will let you listen to them for 30 days and if you don't like them, you can ship them back. Takes the ominous part out of buying something unheard. Their forums list people all over who are willing to do demos, because I really do recommend you listen to a speaker before buying. You may see someone in your area. That being said, I'd be willing to bet you would never ship them back once you heard them. I'm not going to say they are the best or that they are better than A or B. But I will say I am extremely happy with mine and trying them for 30 days suits your situation where you are not near any major shops. There are lots of articles and reviews if you search for them as you shouldn't take my word for it. -- Murph ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Murph's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37143 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
