Totem Forest, Spendor S6e, or Spendor S8e ??

I'd like to know if anyone has compared these
speakers. Im using Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista 300 Integrated, and I also have the Plinius 9200.
My room is 20 x 18 with 10 foot ceilings and hardwood floors. Im using the Forests now, and the detail and depth are very impressive. The Forests have a wonderful deep bass, but are known to be a little bright in the high end.
Ive heard that the Spendors are warmer with
a sweeter high end. The 6e's have a 6 inch bass
cone and the 8e's have an 8 inch cone. I prefer warmth
over size and I wonder if an 8 inch cone might overpower
my room. There are no retailers here in New Orleans. Any thoughts?

The Spendor S6e are too small for the room size cause they get a bit compressed when you drive them hard.
The S8e is a great match and maybe better with the Plinius.
Spendors are very intimate speakers,all the models.Most Spendor lovers stay with them a very long time.
That said ever think about Tabu's or Mani 2 .Great speakers,could live with either.
The Mf and Plinius will drive them easily.
Though choice.
