I will be replacing my Dahlquist DQ-10s early next year and am looking for
recommendations on what is worth listening to. I listened to the Vandersteen
2cis, the Magnepan 2.6s, the Apogee ??s and some B&Ws last night. For my
money, the Vandersteens and the Maggies appealed to me the most.

I was fortunate to listen to them with the same power amp I have, (Bryston 2B)
so didn't worry about them sounding different when I got home (other than the
room characteristics). I also realize that it's wht YOU hear and not what the
spec says, although specs may lead you to listen to one speaker over another.

I figure that I will spend no more than $2500 and am interested in what others
think I should check out. The rest of the components are Sony ESD (Digital Pre-
amp, CDP-15 CD changer).

thanks
