I'm also looking for new speakers in this range. I heard the Dynaudio Contour 3.4s. Smooth and resolved, but polite-- not enough sense of musical excitement for my taste. The Revel F30s are sweet and detailed, but a little bass-shy. Very low bass distortion, which supposedly gives them their lean sound (no warm-sounding doubling of the bass due to 2nd order distortions). I heard the Sonus Fabor Cremonas the other day -- beautiful! Detailed, sweet, and smooth. Great sense of musicality. But lacking that last octave of bass extension, which I would expect in a speaker at this price. If you're not a bass hound, I'd give it strong consideration. I'm still looking for Platinum T8s to audition. Haven't found a PSB dealer with any in stock yet. I'm interested in hearing Revel F50s... should have the same good qualities of F30s, but with full bass extension.

I am looking to upgrade my speakers. My systems includes Cary 303/200 cd player, ASL Twin Head MK II preamp, B&K Compentents 205i reciever and Anthem MCA 2 amp. My problem is that there is not a lot of choices in my area. Yeah, we have NHT, B&W, Paradigm, and Magnapan in our Hi-fi shops, but I would like some more choices. So far the canadates I am looking at are Green Mountain, The New PSB Platinum T8s, and Dynaudio Contour S3.4s. I mainly listen to pop/rock. I plan on roadtripping to audition the 3 speakers listed above. Any input on my choices would be appreciated. Thanks
