Proac K6 Signature, Sonus Faber Amati Tradition,Verity Audio Amadis, Kharma DB-9

...if you were me and you played rock and roll like the Stones, the Allman Brothers, John Mellencamp but also played singer songwriters like ; Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Brown, Waylon Jennings, Josh Ritter but also loved jazz like Pat Methaney, Return to Forever, Cannonball Adderley. In a room that is 16 wide and 30 deep with cathedral ceilings and all Accuphase separates with the amp being a 60 watt pure class A design …...which one would pick ?  I have narrowed it down to those 4 brands  - don't care what you have or had just anybody's thoughts on those 4 Particular speakers. Thank you and stay well and safe out there !

Try to find a pair of older ProAc Studio Twos. I was very fond of mine

Verity Audio, I have the Parsifal Anniversary and it's my endgame. Amadis are more efficient and would fill easily your room with their bigger woofers. If you take good care of positioning them well they may be your endagme too. Verity are great for extended listening sessions because they are fatigue free, they are also great at imaging and do the disappearing act perfectly.

iF the list is that narrow, Verity…i have never heard them sound bad…and on more than a few occasions sing. i also have not heard latest Proac or SF offerings. i owned a small pair of SF i used for nearfield recording monitor work, lush, romantic…warm….but imaged super well.
have fun
since we appear to be voting for dealers, Johnny Rutan :-)

……...thank you all again for your responses as I am the original OP :  

audioman58 - If wanted to know about Focal I would have included them on my list and if you had looked and read at my thread you would have not seen them listed - I have listened to them and do not like them and they look well  ; ugly   

infection  - thank you and just because those are the ones I like !

robbeyedwards  - thank you and I owned a pair of those 25 years ago and agree that are great but as noted looking for floor standers and not stand mounts  - but agree with you   

milpai - thank you and good point and much appreciated. I was looking into the Spendor Classic 200 but no dealer here in the US carries them ..... from what I '' heard '' they do not possess the same sound as the older Spendor's …...but I still researching them and they are now up to ohhhhh $27,000 USD !

tomic610  - thank you but my thread did not note that we were voting for any dealers  - but agree on the Verity's …...but their dealer net work  here in the US has considerably shrunk over the past 5 years which tells me something.

practikl - thank you and congratulations on your purchase of the Parsifal Anniversary's …….they are magical. One question to you ; can they rock and roll - not head bang  - but can they boogie to the bands and songwriters that I have noted ? Great speakers …..
