What speakers to get?

The 683 are bloody good. Not sure about the 684 or the KEFS but the 683 would kill Minstrels and stamp on their graves - if you have the room.

Not heard either, but the B&Ws and KEFs are certainly nice looking speakers, which for some is important, and there's also nothing like opening a box of brand new anything - will feel much more special than a pair of second-hand speakers...

Enjoy your auditions Steve and good luck with the decision making - a nice place to be

How about a really nice pair of JM Lab Electra 926's that I have for sale?

Work well on most amps - I have used them on everything from Naim stuff to a T2020 chip amp!

Those Kefs certainly look the part...

Will be interesting to hear how they all perform.

Not sure if you've seen this thread Steve but Shaun (Haselsh1) is loving his Q500's...

[realysm42]

Lol he's happy with 15 watts; I wonder what 110 will sound like :P

Tried the b&ws and some acoustic audios I felt that both of them lacked the bottom end that my paradigms offer, although they were both very detailed. I will be trailing the kef q500 and the new paradigm monitor 7s I will also have to see if I can give these ushers a listen as a lot of people are rating them. What I really need is to be able to try them at home in my setup!

Has anyone had a listen to these: Tannoy Revolution DC6T SE, if so are they any good and is it worth trying to find somewhere to demo them?

Steve, this is the beauty of buying second-hand. If you buy quality, well-looked after gear at a good price, you'll always be able to sell on using forums like AOS or ebay if needs must ...

I appreciate what you are saying but buying second hand makes me a tad nervous especially if i can't demo the gear before hand. I simply don't know enough and havent sampled enough to make an educated decision. Buying new allows me to try before i buy albiet not in my own environment and gives me a rough idea of what i am getting into!!!
