Neat Momentum SX5i or Rega RX5

I still haven't pulled the trigger.
The owner here at Whetstone (Austin) is suggesting the three below.
any feedback from the group is much appreciated.

Harbeth HL5+

DeVore Fidelity 0/93

Neat Momentum SX5i

Like a couple of posters above, I would go for the Neat, although they are extremely detailed and can be viewed as a little on the "clinical" side.

However, matching them with the right speaker cables will pay huge dividends in SQ ans smoothness.

Harbeth seems to have a huge following, but I have never heard a pair so I cannot comment.

I know even less about the DeVore's - again no comment.

I'm a great believer in trusting my ears, so if the dealer will let you bring in your amp and speaker cables in order to audition all of the speakers mentioned i would go that route.

Hope that helps - Steve

Just went in to auditing them and the DeVore 96 was the best but $12k for the pair. I can't decide. The Neat sounded great but I agree with the clinical sound to some extent.
i haven't pulled the trigger yet

stu were you able to take your amp in for the audition? Never heard Neats but I've heard good things they may not sound clinical with tubes. I've heard the DeVore96 and agreed great speaker if you can afford it and have the room. Can you audition any of the smaller Devores  there?

Yes. He had my tube amp there. It sounded great but DeVore 96 sounded the best by far. Truth be told, my wife said the DeVore is out because it's "ugly" she thinks the Neats are much better looking. 
Unfortuately she does get a say in my decision ;) for $10k I just wonder if I can find something better than the Neat that also is visually appealing to the wife
