What great speakers can buy direct?

Reference 3A if you have no local dealer.

Of the above choices, which are most musical/non fatiguing?

Kef seems to if you have no local dealer. I would guess in today's age of declining physical stores and increasing web commerce many do...though you might have to email them for confirmation. It is a tricky thing as physical dealers look for support of the distribution channel and manufacturing companies understand that..but high end audio is unique and business models are changing.

Larrybou,

"which are most musical/non fatiguing?" Impossible to answer since I doubt any one of us has heard them all.

But I will say this about the Janszen; because of the electrostatic mid/tweeter, it offers wonderful detail and clarity with no apparent distortion. For me, those factors equate to musicality and non-fatiguing listening.

Add to that the broad frequency response (with proper set up), soundstaging, and ability to play at low levels without loosing details right up to high levels without distortion and muddiness and you may understand why I am so impressed by them.

i like axiom out of Canada, try them, they have some nice newer models in your price range....... www.AxiomAudio.com
