Aerial vs B&W vs Dynaudio vs Silverline


I want to upgrade my speakers. I have Linn 5140. In my area I am limited to Aerials and BW. Thinking about Aerial 7b or maybe 8's or B&W 803. But Should I make the effort to travel and listen to Dynaudio 3.3 or Silverline Sonatas.
I have VTL pre/amp with Linn cd player. I would appreciate your thoughts. Music- all kinds.

If you're going to stay with tubes you really only have one choice here, which is obviously the Sonatas(which will also work well with SS if you go that route some day). I would also put them at the top of the list from a sonic perspective along with the 3.3s(not really an option with tubes), but that's more of a personal decision. Absolutely go hear the Sonatas before making any final decisions. Best of luck.
