Opinions please

I am looking at the following speakers as an upgrade to my current speakers (PSB Gold Is) and would appreciate any comments on them:

Montana EPX (used)
Dunlavy Cantata (demo)
Tyler Linbrook Sig System (new)
Dynaudio Contour 3.3 (demo)

I've heard the Dunlavy's and Contour 3.3s in other systems. I liked the 3.3s more, but I'm wondering if they are worth the additional money. I have not heard the Linbrooks or EPXs, but I have read nothing but favorable comments on them. They also cost more than the Cantatas, but again, I question whether I will get the return on my expenditure.

My room is approx 2400 cu ft. and I have an Aragon 4004 amp and an AI Mod 3A preamp.

Thanks for your help.

Although I am a big Montana fan, I agree with the other opinions. Front end upgrades would yield a huge improvement that would be further realized later on with better speakers. Your preamp is pretty darn good for the money, but the Aragon should go. And you didn't mention your source, that might be another area to look at.

I think you should consider a nice tube amp and add a vinyl front end, if you don't already have one. These two things will reap large benefits while keeping your existing PSB speakers. But when it's upgrade time again, Montanas are the REAL deal.
