Time for some new speakers

So am trying to decide if some models I have researched are worth inclusion and audition. Will have to drive several hundred miles to audition a couple of them so I am looking for thoughts and feedback if anyone has heard them or especially if someone has heard more than one; theirs thoughts on how they compared. Considering the following: KEF 205/2, B&W 802D, Lawrence Audio Cello, Salk Audio Sound Scape 8. List was compiled based on reviews and all of them, having a small foot print (except B&W), resonable bass and looks that I believe my wife could live with. Live in downtown condo with neighbors both sides but do have a good size living room (20 x 24 x17). Front end is Hegel and source is oppo 103, mac mini and sonus for causual listening

Not sure of your price range, but the Vivid speakers are both pleasing to look at and hear. I had a chance to hear the B1 model and they were very, very good. They are also very expensive at $15k. Vivid has smaller versions available at a lower price point.

Take a a look at the Fritz Rev 7, his speakers are awesome provided your room is big enough.

I would suggest while you are doing demo on the Kef 205/2 if possible compare the Kef R900 I found them to be more to my liking than the 205/2 , more dynamic and seamless and better with all type of music in comparison. Just make sure all speakers are using proper electronics. 2 years later and I am still amazed by the quality of sound .
