Circa £1k glossy finish standmounts test please

[Big Chris]

In a purely selfish request, could we please see a group test of glossy-finish standmounts circa £1k?

I'm thinking Mission SX2, M.A GX50/100, Kef R300, Wharfedale Jade 3

I'm getting closer to putting the 602s out to pasture and I'm after a shortlist.....

Anyone has any thoughts on the above speakers (or others I may have missed) with my existing electronics and taste in music, please pipe up.

I use Sonus Faber Venere 1.5s. Very glossy, very standmount, very £1000, very good.

:cheers:

Maybe add Tannoy Precision 6.1s believe they are available in gloss black. Add Kef LS50s as well. Also I think Dynaudio Excite x12s are in gloss and PMC DB1s.

Kef LS50 (as said) and R300

Taga Platinum S40 SE (£599).....beautifully made, great value speaker: http://www.kronosav.com/platinum-s-40se-bookshelf-surround-speaker.html

Kef and Arcam rocks and I love the R series speakers on my A38!

I'd also consider the Focal Chorus 807v. They do a lovely Gloss Black finish, but first and foremost are a great sounding speaker. I used to have a pair of the 806v version and can vouch for the quaility. The dedicated Focal stands look really classy too.

I would also suggest the Epos Elan 15 speakers, but they dont come in a glossy finish unfortunately.

Epos are nice sounding speakers, so too are the Edwards Audio SP1, much more focused sounding than all the B&W speakers I've ever heard.
