Anyone like Mordaunt-short or Canton


I need new speakers for a 2nd system and was thinking between Mordaunt-short, Dali or canton. Wanted to keep unker 2k....Dali is on the high side for price so anyone like canton or Mordaunt-short? I dont know their models maybe aviano 8, but the canton 490.2 looks really good. Thanks.

just wanted to add one more speaker to the list...the Elac FS 189...its not too tough to drive and the speakers have a rep for being dynamic...anyone hear?
im very familiar whit canton. The gle490.2 are really dynamic for the price, but for maybe 300$ more you can get the chrono509.2. The tweeter in chrono series is the same that the vento serie(7k$ pair). For a good matching whit canton you must use soft amplifier like mcintosh, arcam, rega, nad....if you have any question about canton you can mail me
Try to find a pair of Mordaunt Short System 442 speakers.

Simply amazing sound and one of the best speakers ever designed.

Forgot to mention they are from 1988 and almost impossible to find now.
I've got a pair of MS902 I bought 10yrs ago. I've run them on a Marantz 5000 and now the Peachtree Nova. They produce a nice, listenable sound. I agree with Loomisjohnson, well balanced and good resolution. I listen to everything from jazz to garage and they perform well.

My only complaint with the 902s is versatility. They've very musical but when it comes to dialog, whether from a movie or a conversation on an album, they lack a lot of clarity. The voices will be flat and out blown by the music (my experience on both amps was the same.)
