Hi. I have a Denon 2313 receiver, and have a Polk surround sound system. Exception is the subwoofer. an RSL 10s SpeedWoofer. My room is 18 x 22, tile floor. The surrounds are on a high shelf in back, but my dog would knock speakers off of stands so these have to be floor speakers.
To continue my upgrade, I want to get a new set of tower speakers to replace my Polk t50s.
I have narrowed my search down to a few choices:
Klipsch R-28F
ELAC Uni-fi UF5
MartinLogan Motion 20 Gloss Black Floorstanding Loudspeaker
SVS Prime Tower Speaker Black Ash
KEF Q700 Floorstanding Loudspeaker - Black Ash
While most of the time spent with my setup is HT, I really want a pair of speakers that provide great sound for for the Hard Rock vinyl albums that sit idle, mainly because of how disappointing the Polks sound when using the turntable.
I like the reviews I am hearing about the ELAC, but am a bit turned off by the fact they are not 8ohm speakers.
Am I right being concerned about using the ELACs?
Are the stories about the Klipsch over coloring the sound true?
Does the way the MartinLogans look make it worth paying the extra money for them?
Finally, if you had 1000-1200 or so to spend, which of these would you buy?
Other recommendations are welcome.
Thanks in advance!
