Trying to decide b/t 5 used speakers w/ Rotel Amp


I currently have found 5 speaker pairs in my budget and would like to know how they might sound with my Integrated Rotel 1070 amp. (100 w/ch x2) Here is a list of what is on the market:

Vandersteen 2ce
Green Mountain Audio Europa
Thiel 3.5
Monitor Audio 8i
Axiom M22ti

Any help would be much appreciated.

Personally, i'd buy one of the first two. Like Elevick said, the Thiels are power hogs and the others ( I believe) are not time/phase aligned. Makes a big difference in my experience.
