Fed up with my speakers

[Sailor4W]

Speakers are very much a personal choice, so best to listen to them rather than rely on what we say!

Not sure this helps?  I like British speakers, like the KEFs but not the B&Ws.  Have not heard the others.

You are right, finding the right speakers involves many things. I primarily focus onto monitor speakers as floorstanders are much too dominating the living room, that's one thing. The other thing, of course, is auditioning them. This can be done for the KEFs, B&Ws and Amphion as there are local dealers in my vicinity. Buchardt is only selling on line, but offers a forty five days return policy, so no risk.

I used to be very fond of British speakers, but not of ATC any more. I was also thinking about Harbeth and Spendor. But Harbeth is very expensive and I doubt they are so much better than the others. My feeling with British speakers is that their design tends to be somewhat old fashioned. But I might be wrong.
