OK, Monitor Audio RX6 or Tannoy XT6F

Hello all. After selling off my "main" system before an anticipated move, the move part is in limbo now. So rather than listen to my very modest "back up" system indefinitely I am exploring a start from scratch project. Cornerstone for now will be a Musical Fidelity A3.2 integrated recently score here. Now, the speaker part. The 2 choices that keep popping up on my short list are the Monitor Audio RX6 and Tannoy XT6F. Both are highly rated and from what I read do justice to many styles of music. I listen to a lot of electric blues and classic rock. Any thoughts/input/comparisons on the 2 choices so far? I am in the market for used, not abused as well. Thanks all! PS. Zu Omen Mk II are orbiting as well but tend to be a bit more scarce....

" Going out on a limb here, but here goes... I own a pair of MA Silver RX8s that were in my main system for several years and am very familiar with their strengths and weaknesses. "

I had the 8's as well and would definitely recommend them. For a speaker in that price range, my first choice would be the Vandersteen Model 1, but my 2nd choice would definitely be the MA's. You can't go wrong. They do everything right and they're easy to drive.
