Mar 7, 2001 8:24 AM | | I just bought some audio physic tempo 2's they are astounding speakers. the new version, the tempo 3's are incredible also and carry a $3000U.S. price tag. That's a little over your budget but I think this would be money very well spent. |

Mar 7, 2001 8:26 AM | | Check out the nOrh.
From $150USD to $3,000USD. You can read all the reviews here and there.
Do a search at google.com for norh.
http://www.norh.com/
Stop apologizing for your English.
The internet is international... and your English is just fine.
Alex - the good one. |

Mar 7, 2001 8:39 AM | | Well nOrh makes great speakers at very reasonable prices, but it was my understanding that in Canada, canadian speakers are very reasonable because the government subsidizes the speaker manufactures R&D.
Maybe you can find some very nice Canadian made speakers. If not, for the money it is harder to do better than norh IMHO |

Mar 7, 2001 9:47 AM | | Here's another option to look at. At this point, I seem to be the only one around here who has actually heard the Divas by Swan, and I am very pleased with them. They come with a 30 return, and won an Exceptional Value Award at CES 2000. Happy looking.

Mar 7, 2001 11:15 AM | | Try Mission 774, 782 or older Rega ELA if you still find a pair, Monitor Audio Silver 7 (no 5). Avoid mid-bass heavy speakers and mid-range laid-back speakers.

Mar 7, 2001 12:48 PM | | I have them hooked up with a classe ssp25 and citation 7.1. I bought them new after a long decision making process between B&W and Paradigm. I've never looked back eversince. |

Mar 7, 2001 2:43 PM | | ACI Sapphire IIIs and a Titan II for 2500. Great value...
For floorstanders, maybe PSB Stratus Silvers...especially given the value in Canada. |

Mar 7, 2001 6:56 PM | | I just noticed that was Canadian money so you may have to search for
used models for some I listed.
I recently found a used pair of 1999 model Legacy Classics for $1,800
that a friend bought. With no equalization they measured +/- 6dB from 25Hz. on up using a slow sine wave frequency sweep to capture all room resonances -- this is the best unequalized frequency response I have measured in a home listening room -- although I believe the fact that he sits only six feet from his speakers (that's where I placed the microphone) helped smooth the measurements somewhat. |
