Entrope: I* have considered the Meridian 508.24 and the Audio Aero may be a consideration also.
O.K some more info on my part may help. I have VMPS RM 30 speakers with about 140 hrs on them, an Arcam FMJ CD 33 and a Bel Canto Evo 2i Gen. II integrated amp. The RM 30 is a fantastic speaker, quick, utterly revealing, highly dynamic with extended quality bass.
However it is not a "warm" speaker , more neutral than the Revel F 30's I had before. But I have given up that warm sound for a more accurate, detailed presentation. I love the detail but miss the warmth and would like to somehow add a little to the system. The Arcam throws a wide soundstage with depth and loads of detail however it too may be on the neutral side of things and it seems to hold back nothing either.. Maybe I can create a better synergistic system here by changing my CD player.
When I listen to a good recording things are quite good actually, but anything recorded "hot" with exagerated highs or splashy constant "pshhh" cymbals or pop music etc. things become downright irratating. My room is horrible for bouncing around the high freq. also. I can't listen to the same old "good" recordings over and over..
thanks everyone
