There you go.

No need to thank me (or buy me anything) and keep the change.

Hope to have a similar success rate for this one.

Partially right (4x out of the 16x lanes)

I don't remember what I wanted last year...and apparently the list was in my sig

This year I'm definitely getting a pair of bookshelf speakers

Looking at a few options...Usher S-520, Acoustic Energy Aegis Evo 1 (sounds very ricey O.o), Paradigm Atoms or maybe Infinity Primus 162.

I was in your position a few years ago and got the cheap Wharfedale instead since it wasn't easy to find what you have stated.

Actually I have to add on mine (you just reminded me).

Marantz SR-4002, Paradigm Mini Monitors, Paradigm PDR-10.

But thats depends on when/if I can move into a house (I hate apartments)

Papercut · 1st Dec 2007, 11:12 PM

All the above are actually available in Singapore, the issue is whether the dealers will entertain a fella who walks into a high-end audio store and looks like he's 17 or 18

But I did manage to audition a few on Friday, the Paradigm Atoms, JMLabs Chorus 706, Usher S520 and Monitor Audio BR2. Sad to say, all fell short of my expectations

One of the salesmen even commented that to match the sound quality of my $120 headphones, he thinks I have to spend a few thousand

The search continues...turning my attention to floorstanders now because they might be able to give me the bass response which I found lacking in all those bookshelves (among other aspects).

PsYkHoTiK · 2nd Dec 2007, 01:21 AM

Yeah, fidelity for headphones is a LOT cheaper then fidelity for speakers.

Chai · 2nd Dec 2007, 02:00 AM

Bookshelf can give really good bass response if you use proper stands. Of course, you can't expect very low bass response.
