Well thanks for all the suggestions lads but I've pulled the trigger on a pair of tannoy xt8f gloss white so bit of waf keep the missus happy never heard a pair so gambling but always fancied trying a pair of dual concentric speakers
They should be a lot of fun.

The only risks are overpowering bass and what What Hifi said "Tonally, these Tannoys aren’t the sweetest sounding performers around. You’ll have to take care not to partner them with anything that sounds overly forward or harsh, because they’ll do little to tone these qualities down."
Hopefully you'll be ok on both fronts and you'll like them.
Your not taking into account that the people who write for WTF know nothing about hifi
Just like NME in the 1980s - if they hated it rush out and buy it, if they liked it then it would be shite of the highest order.
