Speaker Recommendation Needed

Hi,

I just bought a Peachtree Nova 125se and am now looking for a good speaker match for me. I live in a small town so won't have an opportunity to audition anything. The speakers will go in my living room which is about mid-sized and opens up into the kitchen. I listen mostly to folk, soul and rock. I own a REL T5 sub which I can pair with a bookshelf to augment the bass but I also like the idea of small floorstanders. I usually turn up the treble a few notches but the Peachtree does not have tone controls so I would like to find a bright sounding speaker with a forward midrange as well. Here are some speakers i am considering:

1. Wharfedale Jade 3
2. KEF LS50
3. Dynaudio Excite X14
4. Monitor Audio Silver 6
5. Zu Audio Soul

What do you audio people think?

Thanks,

Brian

You should look at the PMC Twenty.21 if you want some dynamic bookshelves. With the Twenty5 series just coming out you can get some great deals on the Twenty series. I just bought some demo Twenty.23 floorstanders at a great price and they rock with a 100 wpc Audia Flight integrated in my second system.

Another great bookshelf is the NEAT Motive SX-3. They have a big, smooth sound that really belies their size, as do the SX-2 in a very compact floorstander.

Others to consider that I like very much are KEF R series (R300 bookshelves or R500 small floorstanders).
