Proac K6 Signature, Sonus Faber Amati Tradition,Verity Audio Amadis, Kharma DB-9

...if you were me and you played rock and roll like the Stones, the Allman Brothers, John Mellencamp but also played singer songwriters like ; Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Brown, Waylon Jennings, Josh Ritter but also loved jazz like Pat Methaney, Return to Forever, Cannonball Adderley. In a room that is 16 wide and 30 deep with cathedral ceilings and all Accuphase separates with the amp being a 60 watt pure class A design …...which one would pick ?  I have narrowed it down to those 4 brands  - don't care what you have or had just anybody's thoughts on those 4 Particular speakers. Thank you and stay well and safe out there !

+another one for ProAcs
@garebear as a ProAc owner, I am obviously biased. All the speakers you mentioned are highly desirable ones. If you get a chance, try to audition them. Yes, Thomas is a genuine and honest dealer. And the sound that I envisioned matches the ProAcs that I have. And it was what Thomas had also recommended to me. You should try to demo the K6 sigs.

valid concern. But it looks like his daughter and her husband are taking over. The future remains to be seen. Hoping the ProAcs thrive the way Spendors are doing after Spencer and Dorothy.

That they closed is sad and a loss to the audio world, but it does not diminish the value of what they have achieved and created.

Speakers can generally go on for a couple of decade before needing to re-foaming or other issues, provided you take good care of them. I am not worried about my ProAcs, even if Mr. Tyler is not around. Just because the company is not around, does not mean the speakers will become lazy and stop making the good music that the owner has come to love.

But, we are not in OP's shoes. So good luck to OP in whatever he chooses to do.
