Re: Which speakers??
Monitor Audio offer a good value. I'd also consider Dynaudio or B&W. I'm a ATC fan but may push your budget. I'd want something more neutral and lively for both music and HT duty.

Don’t know anything about that site so I am not a naysayer. Never visited it before.

Re: Which speakers??
I am really enjoying my new Revival Audio Atalante 3 stand mounts, great price for the performance and could be a good match for your Exposure (they sure are for my Sugden). They are a new company out of France, US importer is Tone Imports. Just a pleased owner, no other stake!

Just a note that US Importer doesn't apply because the Wiz is in the UK. Cheers. Originally Posted by roncagg

Re: Which speakers??
For a second there, I was wondering why the OP was directing his question directly at me until I realized he said "Chaps"... LOL
As for speakers, you should take a good look at GR-Research. Huge bang for the buck, especially if you go for all of the crossover upgrades. Yes, they're in Texas, US, but they ship worldwide.Pass Labs XP-20 | Auralic Altair G1 | Odyssey Audio Stratos Monoblocks | JVC XL-Z411 | Nakamichi DR-1 | Technics SL-1700MK2 | Magnepan 1.7i | SVS PB-1000 Pro x 2
