Rocket RS750 or Odyssey Nightingales
« on: 6 Dec 2005, 03:06 am »
I have decided to replace the Dynaudio Contour 1.1 monitors I have had for the past few years.  I like them, but I want to give something else a shot.  

I am intrigued by the Rocket RS750 and the Odyssey Nightingales.  I would be buying used as that is what I always do.

Here is a little background.  This will be dual use 2.1-channel music/HT and probably multichannel in the future.  I have a small-medium size room.  I enjoy all kinds of music with an emphasis on prog rock and jazz.  Here is my current system:

Pioneer DV45a
Sonic Frontiers Line 1 (upgraded tubes)
PS Audio HCA-2
Dynaudio Contour 1.1 (obviously these will be replaced)
ACI Force Subwoofer

I recently picked up a Sony HDTV and the system is now seeing a pretty even music/movie mix.  Before it is 95% music.  I would rather it sound good for music at the expense of movies though.

What would you guys suggest?  RS750s or Nightingale or something else in that used price range?

I used to have a Odyssey Stratos and I might go back to one of those, but I haven't decided.  I like to make one change at a time.

Thanks in advance to all advice-
