Need Help Deciding


I am in the process of trying to decide on some speakers. I will use this system for basically 65% 2-Channel Audio and 35% Home Theater. For music I listen mainly to classic rock (Beatles, Zeppelin, etc) and like a "warm" "full" sound to my music. I tend to play at high volume.

I would like to do a 7.1 system. Locally I can listen to quite a few speaker companies, however a lot that peak my interest are not available (Monitor Audio, KEF, Wharfedale, etc) and I have to rely on online reviews.

I have a budget of around $2000-$2500 for my 2 mains and really need to stay in that ballpark. I would like recommendations from you all.

Here is a list of my contenders thus far:

KEF IQ90
Monitor RS8
Linn Majik 140
B&W CM9
B&W CM7
B&W 683
PSB Image T6
Magnepan MG12
Energy RC70
Dali Lektor 8
Wharfedale Diamond 9.6
Definitive Technology Mythos STS

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Josh

Do you have a amp/preamp/receiver yet? If so, what will you be powering the speakers with?
