[QUOTE="WhoIsJOB, post: 1110727, member: 23312"] Just a warning from someone who had the Bentley FR100s as desktop speakers - they don't play well close to a back wall if the room is small - I ended up selling mine because they sounded too large in my small home office (they became boomy and muffled at times). That said, they sound wonderful near-field if the room is a little larger and you place them about 30cm away from the back wall (like in my previous room). I had tested them on a NAD 3020 Series 20, NAD 3020i and Mars Exceller tube amp, and all three combo's sounded great. BiZkit has a pair for R3500, so if you can get a NAD for R1500 (entirely possible) you are settled (I scored a 3120 and 6050C tape deck for 1500 on Marketplace few weeks ago that will be going in my parents' new entertainment room) :) [/QUOTE]
