[QUOTE="santoshlv426, post: 98655, member: 1941"] Here's my take. I heard Monitor Audio, RX6,8 and KEF IQ90 and Infinity and prefer the Monitor Audio RX8, which I own. The RX8, yes, does have a lot of bass - so you won't need a sub. What I love about the RX 8. 100% Transparent (These speakers disappear) Rich Warm and balanced Sound - Especially for delicate recordings e.g. Classical Elegant - No question - Monitor Audio produces the loveliest looking speakers in the business. They add to the aesthetics of any lounge. 3 Dimensional - On my music and set up, this speak produces a soundstage thats 2m behind and 2m to the side of each speaker and 4m high and I can "see" where the instruments are placed with the singer 1m directly in front. Now the bad news. Very unforgiving. Bad recording, source or amplification and they sound terrible. If you want to rock the house with high SPL, go with another brand. The RX8 is more sipping Earl Grey Tea to the sounds of Vierne rather than Cascada at full volume. Santosh [/QUOTE]
