    All are good speakers, which sound best to you??

    Of the bunch, I'd opt for the Monitor 10's

    I''m partial to the RT55s. After that, in order of preference...Model 10, RT600 and R-50. I've never heard the 5JR.

    Monitor 10 the older the better. The 55(i) is also gets high marks for rock also.

    I loved my MOnitor 10's for rock. They loved the punchy beats, absolutely ate up the kick drum.
    Ludicrous gibs!
