Out of these 4 speakers, which 2 should I try out?

Hey guys and girls! Well I just got a pair of AV123 ELT5 speakers that I am trying out, and I would like to get a couple others to compare them with. The ELT525M's are very smooth sounding and detailed. These things can get loud despite their low sensitivity, but I'd like to hear what some of these other speakers sound like.

I have narrowed down my choices to the following:
1. Ascend Acoustics 170SE
2. Axiom M3 v2
3. Wharfedale Diamond 9.2
4. Energy RC-10

They will be hooked up to a Onkyo TX-SR506 and I'd say my listening is slightly more towards music than movies. I mainly listen to rock, indie, experimental, electronic, and hip-hop. Since I can't try out all 4 of these speakers, which 2 would you guys recommend I listen to?

I would not consider the Axiom's .

While I have not heard that particular model I did own the M-60 floorstanders . They are not well suited to music , especially the type that you prefer due to it's inherent bad quality recordings . Anything but the warmest of tube amps will just exascerbate the problem ! There is a reason why they offer various sized resisters for the tweeters !

On the other hand , they work nicely for HT . I still have their center and rear surrounds .

Good luck.
