Just to say that at the Sound & Vision Bristol HiFi show I heard Scansonic M6 floorstander (at the time price was £1000.00 now understand it has gone up) what immediately struck me was their resolution, airy sort of 3d presentation and realistic sound. At the time blues music was being played and these slim floorstanders made a deep impression on me espescially the musical slam these speakers were capable of producing. However as I read Scansonic speakers require a long burn in and are a little fussy as to placement. They are not so popular in UK and one dealer stopped stocking the brand as there was no demand. Its a shame if only these speakers required little warm up and were room friendly!
