Budget speaker?


After listening to:

Acoustic Energy Evo 1
Dynaudio Audience 42
Ascend Acoustics CBM-170
Monitor Audio Bronze B2
JmLab Chorus 705
Quad 11L
Epos ELS 3
Axiom Audio M22Ti
B&W 303

I selected my finalists for new speakers as:

Dynaudio 42
Epos ELS 3
Ascend Acoustics CBM-170

These sound for me the best. But from now on I am lost - I cannot decide myself which one is better.

Any advise between these 3?

Thank you very much

If you can't sonically hear a difference between the three, then pick the one with the least expensive price.

(Make sure that all three will work with your electronics though. Nothing worse than taking home a speaker and finding out that your amp is not up to the task of driving your new speakers! In fact, I recommend you bring your amp with you and listen to all three again. And your CD player, if your can handle bringing in two pieces of equipment. This will give you a very good idea of what the final sound at your house will sound like.)

My two cents worth. Good Luck!
