Hi spiffy,
Someone should be giving you a prize for an excellent review. Easily understood and right to the point. Not one of those rubbish, loaded with technicalities where you need to read several times to understand what they were trying to say.
Trust me, I've done my share of research on speakers and to me, a decision on a pair depends so much on:-
a) Money - How much are you willing to splash to get your "value for money"
b) Personal preference for sound. eg: clarity vs bassy etc Last week, I saw a couple of elders, testing speakers on some rap music.
c) Looks - Like it or not, your speakers will be a prominent piece of furniture in the room. No good sounding great but look like coffins?
There you go, I've said my pieces...
Cheers!!
