Proac, Spendor or Quad 22L's has anyone compared

every brand you've named are more than solid, but keep the SL3's. you can spend 2k to 4k and still wind up with nothing more than a sideways move. if your sl3's were the exotic-new-kid-on-the-block-flavor of the month, they would sell for alot more more than 2k....if the goal is to just go 'smaller', the energy or the proac deliver the most for the dollar.

yes, they are very solid. if you're moving away from the big ML's however, i think proac and energy are the brands to 'live' with. If space isn't a factor though, the ML's are competitive well beyond their price.
