What kind of music do you listen to and what is your room like?
I don't know if you've listened to Dynaudio's offerings, but if you haven't, you might want to - they sound really great driven by the Krell, IMO. As for advice on the models mentioned, two things - at the prices of those models, a home audition ought to be possible if you're buying through a dealer instead of used. Second, I would venture that the B&W is the cheapest and that it'll get you the highest percentage resale if you decide in a year to change your mind, so if you love what you've heard so far out of it, it seems like the logical choice. At those prices, I wouldn't buy anything I didn't absolutely love the sound of based on saving money. -Kirk
