b w / martin logan / definitive

Just purchased a used parasound 2 channel amp(hca-1000a-125 wpc), preamp(php850), and tuner. I have been going around and around, deciding on what speakers to buy. Have a budget of $1000 or so for a used pair. My friends and associates all have different opinions(b&w-cdm7nt / martinlogan-aerius / definitive-bp2004tl or 2002tl). The intended purpose of my system will be about 50% theater and 50% music. I really dont care for high volume anything or low frequency booming bass, just, moderate volume with a punchy bass, clear midrange and crisp highs. I know the best way to determine for myself is to listen for myself but, I live in a rural area with about a 5 hour drive one-way to the nearest audio dealer and wouldn't be able to demo these three particular ones. Can you help with any insight about my decision, or have some other brands/models I should consider? or givin your expertise, which one would perform best considering my equipment and listening preferences.

Thanks Steve R.

Take your time: Listen, listen again, spend a few hours in a room with ML's. If there set up right, have the correct power - either in music or movie, they will impress you. I own the ReQuest's, purchased them a year ago and only want to replace the balance of my surrond system with ML's. They are quick, broad and life like.

Take the time to audition so you won't have to buy / sell / then make the right choice.
