Try the warfdale 8.1s (nearfield) or the 8.2 (midfield)
Heard them at music live in november and was happy with the way they sounded.
both are active and having heard a few nearfields in action i can confidently say that they sounded great. Transparent, rich and not too tiring in the nidrange.
this is my opinion, i havnt spoken to anyone else who has heard them, and i havent seen any tests, so... after 10years writing music i know i got some hearing damage....
The price was reasonable at the show, 169 for a pair of the 8.1 and 229 for the 8.2
warfdale make cones for B+W 'cept B+W paint theirs yellow.
Anyone got a view on them? im saving up for a pair and would appreciate a second opinion...!?
Thanks
