OK, Monitor Audio RX6 or Tannoy XT6F

Hello all. After selling off my "main" system before an anticipated move, the move part is in limbo now. So rather than listen to my very modest "back up" system indefinitely I am exploring a start from scratch project. Cornerstone for now will be a Musical Fidelity A3.2 integrated recently score here. Now, the speaker part. The 2 choices that keep popping up on my short list are the Monitor Audio RX6 and Tannoy XT6F. Both are highly rated and from what I read do justice to many styles of music. I listen to a lot of electric blues and classic rock. Any thoughts/input/comparisons on the 2 choices so far? I am in the market for used, not abused as well. Thanks all! PS. Zu Omen Mk II are orbiting as well but tend to be a bit more scarce....

I’m a big fan of Tannoy - so that’s my vote.

You do have to toe-in the Tannoy’s such that if the a line was drawn from axis of each speaker the lines would cross about 6 inches in front of the listener.

I have a pair of Mercury F4’s on my AV system and once I positioned them in that way the image finally sounded complete.

The Dual Concentric driver is even more critical - so I’m told

Have you listened to the Pro-Ac? - I prefer them regardless of model - great speakers
