Hi,
Been serching far and wide for a new pair of good looking floorstanders that are relativaly unobtrusive and sound great. Auditioned Totem Hawks and hated them and didnt like the PMC GB1+. I used to have neat motive 2s and cant seem to find anything that is considerably better than it (both in looks and sound). I thought i had the right speakers when i brought some KEF XQ30s BUT having got them home and had extended listening - dont like them either - bright and bass is a bit too muddy so these are going back to the dealer this week. So now i need a new shortlist. Initially i wanted a compact floorstander but now i am willing to comprimise. My absolute budget is 1500 and i will consider used deals. My final hope for style and substance is a deal on XT4s (B&W). Any one with any exoperience of these? I know what hi fi like em, Bass and soundstage important. So yeah just belt some speaker names at me that you feel fit my criteria and it will be greatly appreciated. Cheers!
