I am currently looking into purchasing a pair of floorstanding speakers. I have been looking into associaed reviews, which are indicating that ProAc Studio 140 are a great product.
Sure but what about MOnitor Audio RS 8 or RS 6?
I have seen some of the forum comments about the Monitor Audio RS6 & RS8 and they too seem well respected.

Naturally the associated costs are quite a bit different.
Though I would love to have a acoustically treated listening environment, that's not to be... at the moment. More a typical living room.

Hello Stereohile,

I'm so tired of asking you to send me a replacement copy for Dec 06 Stereophile. First I emailed tens of times and then left messages at the sub service bulletin board.

Ok, for those of you with an extra $6000 on hand or who had intended to spend about that much for new speakers I am jealous. I do not have $6000, but anyone who does sure had better consider these Meadowlark Blue Heron 2s on AudiogoN. Only one of the best sounding and least fatiguing speakers around. No longer made, destined to become a legend.
