Thanks for all the feedback. Ended up buying a demo pair for a pretty reasonable price, felt, like 'cal', that I'd have to shell out to do much better. They seem much easier to drive than B&W's, (804, 805), and since I'm waiting to upgrade amp, pre-amp, that was part of the decision...
will try to upgrade amp, pre-amp later this year, thanks for advice on pairings. would love to go tri-amp/active, but with the relatively small room, they sound quite solid as-is... Thanks again.
