So I realize that this is kind of a silly question to ask you guys as I own both of these speakers. But what do you guys prefer?

The reason I'm asking is because I live in a 1BR apt with 2 people and I don't have room for a lot of large speakers.

As is I prefer my Ls90 a little bit more. It sounds a little fuller and is a little more sensative. The problem with it is that the Monitor 10 is a bit older and I've heard a re-freshening of the xovers do wonders. But I don't really want to take the time to replace caps and resistors if I'm just going to get rid of them. So what's the general consensus? The Ls90's seem a little harder to find, so I'm a little biased toward it also.

Thanks.

    "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!

    Thanks everyone. I'll try A/Bing one more time with my TT but then I'll probably sell off the M10. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something really stupid.

    Keep the ones you like best. For what its worth, the 10's are pretty easy to find compared to the LS90's in case you change your mind later.
