From your list, it all comes down to the R11 Meta and the Pinnacle. You should definitely audition both—either in a shop or, preferably, at home. Take room size into consideration (especially for Pinnacle): if your room is under 3,000 - 3,500 cubic feet, consider their smaller siblings instead.

I went to Best Buy this morning to listen to the R11, Q11, Martin Logan and B&W. It’s not an ideal setup. Some speakers are spaced too wide apart. The amplification probably not the most ideal either. Of all the speakers, I actually like the Q11 the best. It has the best balance - warm and musical sounding. The bass is better than the R11. The R11 seems sort of lean especially the mid bass - a bit analytical. The Martin Logan and the B&W sound hifi-ish. They have a tipped up treble that may cause listening fatigue. Will go back for more listening. |
@andy2 , will the return policy of Best Buy effectively allow you to conduct in home auditions? |
