Best floor standing speakers for around £500

[admin_exported]

Hello everyone,

Just looking for advice on the best floor standing speakers I can get for about £500.

I'm linking from ProJect Debut 3 and iPod to a Cambridge Audio A5 which will be connected to the speakers wirelessly via JBL WEM-1. I currently have a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 9.0 which have served me very well indeed, but I'm moving house and want to upgrade (although preferably keep things passive)

The KEF IQ5SE in maple would be my ideal - all of the writeups I've read really rate them and I think they look stunning, but they're discontinued and I can't find them anywhere so am a bit stuck.

I've been looking at the Mission MX3, but I'm not particularly keen on their style...

OK.

I've narrowed down my search (but am still open to other suggestions). I'm looking at either:

1. KEF iQ90 (discontinued)

2. Mordaunt Short Aviano 8

3. Monitor Bronze BX6

Any feedback from owners of the above would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
