Salk VS Monitor Audio


I'm hoping someone here has heard Salk Song Towers or the Song3 and also Monitor Audio floor standers.

I currently have MA Silver 8s, I like them but I caught the upgrade bug. 

I'm really intrigued by Salk's Song speakers, specifically the Song3. 

I think it could possibly be a good upgrade for a rather small difference in price. Of course, since Salk doesn't have a dealer network, one is left to rely on other's opinions when deciding whether to gamble on their products.

I am guessing that the shipping of the speakers would cost $200 or more each way. So if one doesn't like the speakers, they're possibly out of $400, or more.

Hopefully someone here can give me some insight as to whether these would be a big gamble. 

My room is 25'x16'x8'. Carpeted floor. The area behind my listening sofa opens up to a hallway. Amp is Parasound Halo integrated.

I have a small sub, but prefer to not have to use it for low bass.

The monitor audio speakers I’ve heard were always paired with ‘affordable ‘ amplification while the Salk sounds speakers I heard at axpona sounded really musical, as good as any to me. Bass will always be affected by the room.
I just want to say that some of the Salks I have seen pictures and videos of are just visually beautiful.
@snapsc  @twoleftears Hey guys in terms of only sepcifications for the schiit aegir and schiit vidar amps on the Schitt website, which one could only drive the Song 3 Beats if I had to pick one. Thanks.

I think the Schitt products are pretty good for the money.
Good question... part of the answer is how loud do you listen, part is how much do you value bottom end punch and part is how much do you need top end liquidity.  

Based on Axpona feedback... a good strategy might be to start with one aegir run in stereo... and if need be add a second or return it and go Vidar.

Not to derail this thread..just a basic question.

How do these speakers sound a low levels? 60-70db
I prefer speakers that are not laidback yet not too aggressive either. A midrange that will not sound muffled a low volumes. I have a Lyngdorf 2170 80/160 watts per channel. 8/4ohms
