johnjen:
I'm figur'n on getting some 'better' mini-monitors to replace my $40 Dayton B652's (mod'd & upgraded)

Once my Rok shows up and settles in, then the finalists in my search can be evaluated.

So who has any reccomnedations?

My short list thus far includes just 2 candidates
The KEF LS50
The Ascend Acoustics Sierra 2

Has anyone compared these 2 monitors with each other?
They both have several design aspects that set off my curiosity alarms, most notably is their use of 'customized' drivers developed just for these speakers, not to mention their measured behaviors.

Any other candidates I should add to this list?

What do you consider mini?

johnjen:
'Bookshelf' sized.

I have some leeway in terms of placement and can accommodate a range of sizes.

Wanna buy both and compare them for us? ;D

Those two would be my picks as well, if I had the money to buy them, space to put them, and time to listen to them.

Greed:
I caved and bought a pair of Sierra 2 speakers when massdrop was hosting them. I was really close to pulling the trigger on a pair of LS50 after hearing them 3-4 times at shows and demos at my local dealer. I'll let you know what I think of the two in comparison when I get the Sierra 2s.
