Equator D5, only $299 a pair, money back guarantee
Amazing time aligned sound
Custom made coaxial drivers, DSP, inbuilt amplification, factory direct marketing
I have a pair of NS-10m that are powered by a Bryston 4B. I rarely listen to them but I listen to the Equator D5 all the time. I just bought a second pair of D5 that sits right next to my Meyer HD-1's.
I love the transparency of the D5. I could probably EQ them to sound mid-rangey like the NS-10m but there would be no way to turn off that great time aligned delivery of the D5's :-)
I could easily get by with just a pair of D5's, they are so true and uniform. BTW I did an extensive shoot out that included the Neumann monitors, double blind we all liked the D5's better.
Good music to you!

Good music to you! | Thanks for the reply. I have seen the Equator D5's and yes they appear to be good value! They cost £349 in the UK which is a little disappointing as $299 in UK pounds is around £180.
I am quite interested in the Studiospares SN10a, Auratone Mixcubes and Behritones as they are sealed box designs. I really like this type of speaker for mix checking and the SN10a's and Behritones are very affordable!

I already have the Neumann KH120's which are excellent main nearfield monitors. The Equator D5's look like they are intended for similar use as my Neumanns and I am looking for something quite different as reference monitors!
The Mixcubes look like they should fit the bill nicely for my small room!

Transient response - the thing that makes 10s so useful - isn't half as revealing.
