Which Speaker to go for?

Hi, I had a similar thread to this before but am starting a new one as its been a while and I know a bit more now than I did before. I am about to get my first set of speakers but not too sure what’s the best out of these. It will be used for listening to music (mostly indie/rock) from vinyl. I’m looking second hand to get the best value for money and these are my options:
Kef Q950
Monitor Audio Silver 10
Monitor Audio Gold Reference 20
So what are your thoughts? I have to move fairly quickly due to ebay listings ending soon. I’ve heard good things about all of these, atm I am leaning to either the Kef as its going for a very good price, or one of the monitor audio as a lot of people have recommended them (though I’m not sure which is better out of the two). Alternatively I could buy a Dali Oberon 5 from new. Any advice?

Never heard that KEF. I would probably go for the gold 20 depending on price.

How much are you looking to spend? I think a better question is those speakers as well as other options in your price range. Done be in a hurry. You will find another one of you miss the one your looking at.

All of the ones I listed are between £700 and £850 with the Silver 10s being most expensive. I may be able to bring down the prices slightly if I’m lucky. All are in very good condition.
I’m not rushing too much as I’ve been watching for some speakers for a while now, its just the KEF 950s listing ends tomorrow although I could probably message after to ask if they’re still available. Do you think the MA gold RG20 outperform the Silver 10 despite being a generation behind (that’s my main concern) and they are listed at £150 cheaper which is a good thing, but also makes me doubt if they’re not as good.
Or if I'd be safer just buying the Dalis new, they have excellent reviews, I just thought going second hand might give me better quality for my budget.
