listen to the totem model 1's, hawk, or forest speakers. I auditioned the speakers that you listed above (except for the spendor's) and purchased the totems. Very musical. If you want a larger floorstanding speaker, listen to the Revel Performa F30. IMO not as musical as the totems but will fill a larger room for rock music.
which speakers, under $2K used?
I'd like to upgrade my current speakers, a pair of Quad 11L mini-monitors. I'm happy with them, but I think I can get even higher performance. I'm using a Unico amp, MMF-5 turntable with Monolithic amp, and a Sony SCD-777. I'd like to keep the price under $2K and here's what I've narrowed my selections down to:
Joseph Audio RM22si
Joseph Audio RM7si
Spendor 3/1P
Sonus Faber Concerto Home
Sonus Faber Signum.
My room is medium-small and I play varied music (from rock to classical). Qualities in music that's the most important to me are: a wide soundstage, a sweet midrange, and a nice holographic sound. Your thoughts?
