The Raidho and Borrenson are very accurate but not musical. I found Magicos kind of plain and boring. I expected more from the TADs based on all the hype. The Vandersteen Seven XTRM sound good. I also really like the Acora speakers. If I had an Acora dealer within a reasonable distance I might have given them more consideration. Heard a pair of horn speakers by Volti Audio in Tennessee. Excellent sounding speakers that drew me into the music. They required some very expensive SET amps to sound their best.
I find Wilson speakers to be excellent performers for several types of music. Set-up of the speakers is critical to get the best sound. Those who are obsessed about the dollars might be better served watching for a sale at Best Buy.
