Advice requested on speakers

Excellent comments. Thank you all. I'll let you know how it works out.

I know this post is a few years old now, but I was wondering what you decided to go with. I'm looking at upgrading my speakers as well...and almost all the same speakers you were looking at are on my short list. I would appreciate your comments.

I should probably know this, but I'll ask - what is the difference between a full range speaker and a monitor speaker, as far as listing speakers for sale on audiogon? Thanks!

I personally have owned over 300 different sets of speakers and in my opinion phase coherency at the listener’s ears really makes a huge difference when trying to achieve an emotional experience in your system. I personally run Zu Definition Mk4 speakers and have owned most of the speakers you are currently looking at. The Mk4's have no crossovers on 8 of the 10 octaves; they give you every tiny detail at low volumes and can play any type of music at loud volumes with ease. This is just my opinion but I always found I was just moving sideways when listening to speakers with crossovers in the midrange area. All the speakers you are looking are very good but none would my first choice.
