Hi everybody,

Dom from Zurich, Switzerland here. I am using Geithain RL906 as my monitors (lovely speakers!), and most of the time I listen to classical music. Though the Geithain monitors are amazing, I feel the urge to buy Quad ESL 57 or 63's to add some bigger speakers that are not nearfield. I hope I can find some tips and tricks and advice on this forum.

See you around.

Hi Dom and welcome to AOS

Your Geithain RL906 speakers look interesting, I've not come across them before.
Co-axial driver active monitors with top mounted ports! Fascinating!!

I look forward to future discussions about speakers and perhaps amps to drive them!

Thank you both. Listen to the Geithains if you can. They have a neutral sound signature, and they excel at imaging. I guess that is due to the coaxial design. The top mounted ports make them unsuitable as bookshelf speakers. But it is a clever solution for nearfield monitoring, if your desk is placed against a wall. Their midfield and main monitors are said to be fantastic as well, but i haven't heard them yet.
