Best speaker for classical music ?

I am familiar with all those speaker that you named except the Totem. You cannot go wrong with any of them. You should look at the Proac models in this price range as well. Final decision is really up to you. The rest of your system will have a direct bearing on any recommendation. It is hard to recommend speakers without knowing anything about the rest of you system. For example the Magnepans have a totally different amplifier requirement than the Spendor. You must provide information on the rest of your system for anyone to make you an intellegent recommendation
