Klipsch R-40M v. Dali Spektor 2

[Juzzie Wuzzie]

Forum friends,

Has anyone got any experience with the Klipsch R-40M in stereo use? I am considering getting a set to put on the end of my Primalunas whilst the floorstanders have been stored to avoid the roaming of a toddler.

I understand the subjectivity of speakers but note: 1) it is a temporary solution; 2) I'm not intending on spending more than £250; and 3) I'm not going to trial at home as the placement will be sub-optimal (on a side-board).

I am posting "v. Dali Spektor 2" as the other option is to store the Primalunas and get out the Naim Uniti Lite with the Dali's at the end. I have the Oberon 5s and they sound good enough at the end of the Naim.

All thoughts welcome; and acknowledging (again) the subjective nature of my question.

I have owned the Spektor 2s and a similar Klipsch model (R-51M I think), and I would choose the Spektors every time - more balanced sound, better build...

If you like your Oberon 5s, the Oberon 1s can be had for £299 at present, and they are a very worthy step up from the Spektors in refinement, resolution and dynamics.

I can even get a set of Oberon 1s (open box) for €299, so potentially onto a winner there.

I'd go for it. They're brilliant little speakers, and have a sonic signature you're accustomed to.
