Suggest your most desired MSRP $1,500-$3,000 Stand Mount for a Shootout.

Canton 9k reference $3000 ish 

A lot of people have heard the KEF LS50. Might be a nice comparison point. $1500 for the metas.

I have three that I own. 
CSS Audio Criton 1TDX, JBL 1600 HDI. Both excellent. My latest speakers are a pair of used Dynaudio Special 40s I got for $2500. These are indeed special. Love them. 

After you waste time and hurt everyone's ears listening to all those boxes, hook-up a pair of Magnepans and let your group hear what was actually recorded on whatever source you are using.  

Warning:  You only hear what you feed them, so GIGO applies.

Cheers!

What is your plan / gear method to …level match ?

and who is “ we “ ?

as the comments accumulate, i have not yet seen a reply to jim’s queries above, which are important

also, to his second point, i am wondering what is the purpose of the shoot out - there are standmounts of vastly different sizes, used for vastly different applications - for example a harbeth p3 and a monitor 40 are both ’standmounts’, but vastly vastly different in use, ability, purpose, and need for room or equipment based ancillary bass reinforcement

the op might shed some light on all this, so the ’help’ he seeks on this thread might be more on target
