Well I like your choice!! I had a set of mini monitors and really did like them, and may try to find a set, I sold them to my friend because at the time I didn't have any subs to compliment the great soundstage that they had. I will answer the replies sent to my question from this reply, first I want to thank those that took the time to respond to my question, I like all your ideas and suggestions. I forgot to mention the Energy 2.2's and the Energy 2.1's that I hated!! Yuuk!! couldn't wait to get rid of them!! The Paradigm mini- monitors were and are much better speakers than the Energy line in my opinion, sure they had great bass for a small speaker but that's all they had!!
Anyways the Vandersteen 3A were the best in my opinion from what I have owned, but the bass was not up to my expectations so I let them go, but wow what a soundstage to kill for and the soundstage was top knotch!! The Magnapan 1.5 qr's that I run presently are also very good but I have no room to give them the space they need to give thier best performance, but the Vandees still sounded better to me!! The Vmps, well I can't remember the model #'s but one pair weighed in at 220 lbs each, and the other ones weighed 120 lbs each, they were nice but the Vandees and Theils had a far better soundstage and much smoother mids and highs. I would buy a set of 3.6 Maggies (they run over $3000 used however) but again I need to keep any set I buy close to the walls, 2 feet is all I have to give any speaker right now. I have considered PSb Gold I's, also James loudspeakers but to much for me right now, Dynaudio is a choice but again to much. I have never heard Axiom's flagship spkr but have read high praise for them,maybe them? Well my quest continues for the best speaker I can buy for $2000 and any help I can get from my fellow audiophiles will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Tom
