Kef R11 vs Polk L800 vs Triangle Esprit Australe Ez`


hi Guys,

Looking to buy new floor standers. 

Thinking between 3 of them. My equipment is full stack PS Audio (BHK 250, DSD, PS Audio Preamp) and Shiit (Ragnarok, Yggdrasil) 

so these are my thoughts

Kef r11
- Beautiful cabinets
- British sounds

Polk L800
- SDA
- Made in USA
- Big soundstage

Triangle Esprit Australe Ez
- new kid on the block?

I don't have a single-ended amp (needed for Polk L800, though)

Music I play
- chillout
- balearic
- soft / smooth jazz
- EDM 
- enigmatic

I like to play at lower volumes sometimes and have still "filled" sound. 

Let me know what you think. My current speakers: Polk LSIM 707 and Wharfedale EVO 4.4 (which are very different, but I quite like them both)

thanks,
Dmitry

I wouldnt call these new kefs British sound, harbeths yes, kefs no.  The kefs will be very accurate / neutral but open revealing and image well from all over the room.

Not sure about low volumes..

Thanks guys!

> are you trying to gain in your new speakers and whats your budget?  

I'm getting back to the office, where I can have a new set of speakers, right now my office has Polk LSIM 703 (Monitors) and I'd like to get something different. I enjoy floorstanders (much better sound compared with monitors). I usually the last in the office and therefore would like to play music while nobody is there.

Yes, I'm open to the used if that provides additional value. 
My budget is 4k-6k.

thanks,
Dmitry
