@kenwood61  Thanks for explaining.  Helps me understand a little more about the Wharfedales.  I really like Quad's aesthetics and there are good deals out there for the 11Ls and 12Ls.  Really wish I could demo them locally though.  But oh well!Kef...

@kenwood61 Thanks!  I have been eyeing Quads too, but am also unable to audition since I do not have a local dealer for them.  I listen to mostly jazz music, so based on your description they may fit the bill though.May I ask what it was about the...

@leotis Thank you!  I like the Zus, but a little hesitant since I cannot audition them locally. I'll check out those Revels.I am actually starting to lean towards towers.  Especially if I am going used market.

Hey folks,Demoed some Elac Uni-Fi 5s today. I little above my price range and floorstanding, but they were impressive! Hopefully some of that trickles down to their other speakers. Looking forward to hearing more from Elac.

@gdnrbob Thanks!  I really like the look of those Zu's.  Not sure if there is a local dealer for them or not.  I'll do more research on Zu.I have seen Vandersteens recommended often, and looks like there are a few decent deals on eBay too.

Dynaudio Emit 10-$799 list, Emit 20 -$999 list, Excite X14 $999- (Demo) online at Dedicated Audio. Like the Excite 14s a lot, haven't heard the Emits, but generally like Dynaudio. Nice blend with midcentury aesthetic. @returntomusic -- Thank you!...

BUT Im not sure the Rotel is musical or sweet sounding enough for that option. I say upgrade the amp first, then speakers will be easier to find that will work for you. @mattmiller Hi Matt,I’m curious if you have any thoughts regarding the Marantz...
