FWIW I recently auditioned over twenty floor standing speakers. Most of them the highly touted names on this site. Example SF PSB AZ B&W TOTEM DEVORE MAGGIE VANDERSTEEN PARADIGM ECT. Bottom line a pair of KEF R900 won out. I would have never even considered these if one of the dealers did not have them on hand. Oh and many may think they are HT. I have set up my front end preamp amp and cables and the sound is fantastic. BTW I compared speakers over 10k the only ones that thought were worthy Joseph audio Perspectives.
