Speakers are a very personal choice, perhaps the most important choice in system development as far as gear goes. Listen for yourself.

I would pick the KEF R11 Meta, and find them used.  The R line was well reviewed, and like all KEF models, quickly becomes a good buy on the used market.  The Q not so much.  SVS makes ok subs.  B and W are tipped  up at the high end.  And of course choose for yourself!  

It's too personal of a choice for anyone other than you to choose.....favorite beer, prettiest woman, best band, etc.  wink

+1 KEF R11 Meta is my pick, but your subjective preferences may differ. It’s best to demo yourself
