The Best of the English Sound

I am pretty pleased with my ATC SCM 7's but the new Harbeths have intrigued me, as have Spendors from time to time in the Audiogon classifieds.

Unfortunately, there is nowhere I know near where I live to listen to any of these speakers.

So is there any consensus on differences between these UK brands, which all supposedly have much better than average midrange?

I am trying to find a 1) small enough for desktop use,and 2) last speaker I will ever own for this application, to 3) buy 2 - 4 sets of them for various locations in home and office.

Thanks for your thoughts and opinions.

At the lower end , the Wharfedales are amazing. You could step up a bit to the Audioengine A5s that are powered.
ATCs need a lot of power.
The Harbeths and Spendors are the next step up and need less power. They are both less strident than the ATCs. Not English but the Reference 3As may fit the bill.
