Ajani -

Thanks for the suggestion - those actually caught my eye when scanning monitor audio's site the other day.

I agree with you - at this point another half upgrade would be silly. I've got a pretty good set up right now that makes me happy, but I am aware of the faults. Especially now after hearing much better speakers. Taking my time to research (there should be a word for listening research) save up and just do it all at once.

I've really got to find what I am looking for in a speaker though. At this point I'm still not sure. In all honesty though, the B&W 801D seem like a great choice if they don't suffer the same issue as the 803D. The 15" woofer is....well...damn near ideal. I remember having my JBL dual 15" bass speakers and a JBL 400Watt head back in my 'i'm in a band' days. The detail was fantastic, and the power even better.
