You mention that you are using cheapo Behringer amps? I think that is possibly the main problem that needs to be addressed before you even considered changing speakers. You can't get a good sound with cheap amps, at least I never have been able to. I'd look for a nice sounding amp for the money you are willing to spend and then see how you like your speakers.
The Best of the English Sound
I am pretty pleased with my ATC SCM 7's but the new Harbeths have intrigued me, as have Spendors from time to time in the Audiogon classifieds.
Unfortunately, there is nowhere I know near where I live to listen to any of these speakers.
So is there any consensus on differences between these UK brands, which all supposedly have much better than average midrange?
I am trying to find a 1) small enough for desktop use,and 2) last speaker I will ever own for this application, to 3) buy 2 - 4 sets of them for various locations in home and office.
Thanks for your thoughts and opinions.
