Ron1264,I saw your FS AD on usaudiomart... you were selling this unit as factory sealed. So did you ever actually use it? 
Has anyone ever used any sprays or paints to protect the cabinet of a speaker?

Dynaudio Confidence 20 vrersus Kef reference 1
I have heard the Kefs on a number of occasions.  I also own the Confidence 20’s. I prefer the Confidence, better fit and finish along with a fuller sound.  They do not lack any detail compared to the Kefs yet they are simply more natural and enjoy...

As pe the gentleman proclaiming the Esoteric is built better not possible, the Esoteric is made out of plates of metal, vs the Lumin which is cut out of billet aluminium. Rest assured that I have owned 2 Esoteric pieces along with 4 Lumin, inc...

Fit and finish will be light years ahead on the Esoteric compared to the Lumin.  Beyond that its all personal preference.  I would audition the Bartok as well. 
Had anybody listened to JTR speakers?
none of their speakers sound refined, in the audiophile sense.  They can handle some serious power and go loud.  But again, not something I would use connected to $30K worth of electronics... or 10 for that matter

I have them along with their sealed sub for home theater duty.  I would never use them for a dedicated 2 channel rig.
