Please consider a new speaker I heard at THE Show

Evolution Acoustics Model One ... under 4k

-3 35hz to 45k

Sounds like a large speaker in any room   Sounds huge 

Best cheap speaker  ... will beat them all. ’No matter the system 

A spendor A7 tower will sound better than anything on your list and come in under the top of your range.  

Philharmonic towers are worth investigating.  

Nice Speakers listed here...I'm cheap I'll go with Polk...they aways have clearance sales...lol

None.  My lord, SO many good speakers, ProAc, Living Voice, Spendor, Joseph, Acora, etc.

Kef: would love to try them in my room, but have been warned they cannot produce the SPL in my GIGANTIC (volume 50 x50 x20 or so) room even so I am only concerned with 80 Hz and above (have great sub to handle the rest).
