[QUOTE="Jay Barracato, post: 97040, member: 24"] The dirty secret comes out: I haven't had any sort of playback device in my house for about 3 years unless I drag one of my k10s up from the basement. On my old desktop computer I had what best buy considered a better than average sound system. I found the hyping, I mean voicing, increasingly tiring to listen to over time. So when the desktop system died I got rid of the sound system as well. I went yesterday and listened to a bunch of monitors. At the high end I picked the genelac 4080 over the Adams t7. That is just a reference because it is way out of my budget. The KRK rokits left me cold, and the jbls in the same price range were OK at best. At a slightly, higher price, I liked the rcf model they had better. At that point I was at the same price point as the equator d5's that are on sale. So based on the reviews I ordered the d5's unheard. They do have a 60 day gaurentee on the sound quality so if they don't live up to their rep I will return them and probably go with the rcf's. Mark, I understand the impact of the room and can still use headphones for close/critical listening now and I will probably start treating the room over time. [/QUOTE]
