salk sound HT3, Linbrook Sig, VMPS RM30

I trying to decide between the salk sound HT3, Linbrook Sig, VMPS RM30. I plan to power them with Nuforce Mono amps in a room that is 20.1 x 19. Therefore, placement is not a problem.

I've not heard any of these speakers but have done extensive research on all. I like the appearance of the Salk the best but the VMPS may sound the best. Ty of Linbrook line is a joy to work with, I just do not know which one to buy. Help.

I only say VMPS may sound the best because of the FST tweeter,
and the 3 vertical Neo mids. I loved the midrange when I owned Maggies and it seems like the VMPS places strong emphasis in that area.

Check out Zybar's system he use to have RM40's and replaced them with the Salks. His system is better detailed on audiocircle. Fit and finish of course is way better on the Salk's. I was an owner of VMPS speakers and I love the value of them but the tweaking of the drivers can be tiring or a bonus depending on how you look at it.

Also check with Marbles at the AudioCircle website. He also owned RM40's (fully tweaked), but sold them and now owns Salk HT3's.

I once owned the RM40 and auditioned the Salk HT3's quite extensively. The Salks were much more coherent and "musical", IMO. Haven't actually heard the Tyler's but have never read or heard anything but high praise for them.

Personally, the deal breaker between the Tylers or the Salks would be the tweeter choice. I would lean towards the Salks because of the fabulous ribbon tweeter he employs in the HT3.

Thanks for the responses. I've noticed that some reviews state that the Salks have a "forward" sound that is similar to the Wilson speaker. Is this true? What other speakers sound somewhat like them since I am likely to wait a while for a custom finish?
