Speakers for 3K


Just want some opinions on used speakers for around 3k. They will be used for 50/50 2 channel and 5 channel. I have a Denon 3808 to drive them. Here are the choices:

1) KEF Reference 205 (not 205/2)
2) Kef Reference 203/2
3) Pioneer s-3ex
4)Devore 9
5) Revel F52

Ar first I experienced what Bjesien did with the Zus. But once Zu set them up properly the fatigue factor disappeared. (Not saying that was Bj's issue, just relating my experience.) Setting these up properly is very important. Improper toe-in did sound piercing.
Hi, not to hijack, but Rockadanny, what did Zu do to the setup and toe-in that changed your mind? thanks

I think the devores are too nice to be used for a 5 channel system.
thanks everyone. Devore's are too nice? There are people using Wilson, Magico, etc.. Are the Devore's not good for 5 channel?
