They weren't my "cup of tea", but you might want to audition a pair of Harbeth's, if you like that "English sound". If not, I'd recommend auditioning a pair from the Totem Element line as well. Both are very smooth, very musical, great sound stage, don't need to be driven "hard" to sound their best, didn't seem to be picky about the electronics driving them, or the room they find themselves in.
