Salk VS Monitor Audio

I'm hoping someone here has heard Salk Song Towers or the Song3 and also Monitor Audio floor standers.

I currently have MA Silver 8s, I like them but I caught the upgrade bug. 

I'm really intrigued by Salk's Song speakers, specifically the Song3. 

I think it could possibly be a good upgrade for a rather small difference in price. Of course, since Salk doesn't have a dealer network, one is left to rely on other's opinions when deciding whether to gamble on their products.

I am guessing that the shipping of the speakers would cost $200 or more each way. So if one doesn't like the speakers, they're possibly out of $400, or more.

Hopefully someone here can give me some insight as to whether these would be a big gamble. 

My room is 25'x16'x8'. Carpeted floor. The area behind my listening sofa opens up to a hallway. Amp is Parasound Halo integrated.

I have a small sub, but prefer to not have to use it for low bass.

Thanks

I too am intrigued by Salk audio.  It seems he uses great drivers and customizes speakers to individual needs.  Also seems like a great value and free of international tariffs etc.  But I have seen some posts ( and have been told by salespersons- for whatever thats worth) stating that the speakers are "high fidelity" not high end.  For one I am not sure what that means but it does sound disparaging.  Have not been able to set up a local audition ( in RI or Boston area) of the Song 3 or Song 3 encores or Song Beats; and not ready to spend significant dollars sound unheard.  Anyone have the opportunity to compare Salk Speakers to perhaps Devore or Proac?
Thanks
