Thanks for all the reccommendations and comments!
Jbrrp1, thanks, are you indicating that the TAD Evolution One may be as strong a performer as your TAD CR-1's?
Zd542, thanks, Vandersteens are wonderful loudspeakers and indeed very coherent, but in a small room with nearfield listening, IMHO a coincident design may make for better driver integration and ease of placement.
I'm not hearing much about KEF Blade 2's. I did hear them at an audio society meeting a couple of months ago, in a larger room, and they were very coherent, if not quite as detailed as my Revel Studios.
Thiel 2.7 and 3.7 are coherent as well, but the company is being taken in a different direction, and may be dinosaurs shortly.
Appreciate your thoughts!
