Dali Epicon 2 or Monitor Audio PL100


Greetings!
I have a small home theater; 10 x 12 feet. I have a 50" Panasonic plasma on the wall. Under that is a Sunoko Vent AV rack and on the top shelf is where my center speaker sits. I am contemplating Dali Epicon 2 or Monitor Audio PL100 to the right and left. Depending on which bookshelf sounds the best, will determine which center speaker, I will choose - Dali Vokal or Monitor Audio PL150.
Anybody have any thoughts please on which is the better speaker please?
Movies only, movies movies all the way!

Most things are written in english. You can see what I am doing now. It is totally different than other people do in audio.
The crossovers of the Pl-100's are superior. The stage is a lot deeper and wider than the Dali can give. Besiude this the ribbontweeter is much more open and realistisc in the high freq.

I use the PLC-150 myslef, stunning centre. It can build the stage far behind the spaker, but also in front. This gives it a stage to die for. I sold Dali for over 8 years of time. They make nive speakers, but Monitor Audio outperforms them quite easy.
The Platinum is a much better speaker. The robbontweeter in teh gold series is of a lower quality. The Platinum is a lot more natural sounding. The stage depth and width is also a big difference. Inside the Platinum Monitor Audio uses full silver internal wiring. In the gold series it is copper with a little silver. The difference in price is big, but also the overal sound. The PlC 150 is later put on the market. The Pl-200 is superior in speed and imaging compared to the Pl-300. I sold mine 300 and of many clients as well. We all play these days with PL-200 with a subwoofer. Before the Pl-300 I owned the B&W 800 S. I could not listen to classical music with the Pl-300. With the Pl-200 this changed as well.
I sold Dali for over 8 years as well. When it would be better, I would sell it. I can sell want I want. You can read in the answer that I sell it. I don't have anything to hide!
The 350 is very ugly to be honest. I sold them but I would not want them myself. For the 150 and Pl-200 they used better crossovers. They changed it. You need a good subwoofer. With the PLW-15 you can add a lot more dynamics to the centre as well. the Subwoofer adds low freq. to every channel. So also to the centre channel.
The ribbontweeter of the gold is a lot different than the one of the Platinum series. The centre is the most important speaker in a 5.1 set. You need a coherence in sound.

I use the PLW-15 from 16-140hz. It is a very important part in the whole system.
