There are quite a few choices in that price range. Klipsch reference, Monitor Audio, Wharfedale, Paradigm, JBL L52, several other strong contenders. I recommend you go listen to some if you can and see if any sound sweet to your ears with the music you like. Leave the Eagles at home, however (unless you mean Eagles of Death Metal.) And don't listen to the hawkers, err I mean audio salespeople if you feel they are trying to "sell" you something you don't want.
Scratch Klipsch. Very good monitors, some of them, but too efficient for powerful Tyrs on a near field desktop.There are quite a few choices in that price range.

which looks better, the sausages or the Dirndl clad... ... ?Same here! Just put up some impressions in the main Yiggy thread. My wallet was hoping I wouldn’t hear a difference from the B2/64 but my smile says otherwise
The top part reminds me of Mini Maggies. Tyrs would probably drive those healthily.The Tyrs may be what these power-sucking Eminent Techs really need. Not exactly desktop friendly though.
I have a set (make me an offer!
. Placement is everything for Maggies, then sufficient power.
I have a really old set of those, maybe M1000 from the late 90s? The panels are surprisingly durable. The sub, not so much.I have a Monsoon MM-2000 hooked up to my desktop Schiit. It's kinda like a desktop Magnepan, what with flat planar panels and all. I like it.
Philharmonic (I'm a true believer). Custom finishes if you act soon.
Lol at doing mini radials with Tyrs.
tempting.. my adcom amp would probably drive them. If I get some $ set aside for an audio purchase , I'll see if your still interested.I have a set (make me an offer!
The woofer panel didn't do much for me as I could "hear" where it was (really messes with cello, e.g.).
All the Maggie virtues were present as well as the Maggie vices, amped up somewhat.
And the first thing I'll do is paint it not pink.I gave him visiting privileges to the Barbie Cardboard Fort, so he's moving closer to take advantage of my generous offer.
Same here, my B-I-L now covets my OG Freya w/LISST... but (unstable historical memory notwithstanding)... I think that Freya with LISST was about the same as MJ3 in terms of radiated heat. I don't really notice that MJ3 is hot until my hands are physically near it; and the vent grilles are clearly too hot to touch directly after an hour of runtime.
