Hi Antonio! I do like the B&W 800 series, but both Focal & Sonus Faber make excellent stand-mounts too. I must confess I've never heard of the Reynauds - are they utterly esoteric? I stand by my personal experience that stand-mount speaker usually produce the better sound stage in a small listening room: floor-standing speakers tend to work best in larger spaces, & often need to be spaced away from any adjacent walls to give their best sound, which again is not really practical in a modest-sized room... I hope that you find some speakers that suit the kind of music you prefer, & your own musical appreciation! Dave :cool: P.S. It is an irritation that the forum software does not let you know you've exceeded its maximum number of words for a post until you think that you've finished - it's happened to me a couple of times & it can be difficult to prune your outpouring without losing the flow. Oh well, very little IS perfect in this life! :D ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Golden Earring's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66646 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107946 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
