Thanks. I'm predicting the 603 will be around £300, so if the 610 stays at £500 it would mean I'd likely plump for the former. If it dropped to £400 though I'd pay the extra...
Any reason for these over the slightly larger (but still small) 2020i?
Another well reviewed speaker, look at the Tannoy DC4, available at £255 (£350 rrp)
I would also have assumed someone with 5k to spend on speakers would have a better understanding of spelling and grammar, but then perhaps that's just me being cynical
Do they still exist? I've picked up a pair for peanuts but one of the tweeters is blown. I can't seem to find any. If not, any suggestions for replacement?

Seconded. The difference in even mild speaker adjustment can be huge (annoyingly). It's also down to personal taste/room acoustics/positioning limitations. Chebby and I have the same JPW Sonata's. He has his against the wall, I find mine sound best out into the room where they have more sparkle...
