Speaker Preferences?

Sorry to start yet another of these "Which speaker is best" threads but I'm curious how astute AudioGon members rate the following speakers. My room is mid-sized (14 x 20 x 9) and my system is all very high-quality stuff. I listen mostly to rock music at not-quite-obnoxious levels.

Here's what I'm looking at in the under $7000 range:

- Martin Logan Vantage
- Acoustic Zen Adagio
- Revel Salon Studio (used)
- Wilson Sophia (used)

Please comment only if you've actually spent serious listening time with at least two of these speakers.

Thanks!

The meter/rhythm is too off to make that rhyme work. Take it from someone who studied poetry and poetic form.

"Because Panels Rule, and Cones are for fools," works better.

Or, "Panels Rule, Cones drool..."

>>panels rule, don't be a cone fool<<

Congrats Mrt.

Not many people can get both feet in their mouth simultaneously with such ease.

Removing them, however, is a challenge.

Apparently Mr T, compression doesn't concern you. As opposed to more realistic dynamic range that is. Bugged the hell out of me. Thats the main reason my Quads are in a closet. Oh, yeh, I forgot Quads don't play loud either. But we all have our own personal set of priorities. None of it sounds real anyway so why not be a 'cone fool'? You can be what ever kind of 'fool' you like.
