I'm ready to pull the trigger on some new speakers.looking for some last minute advice


Hey all,
I know that there are too many posts like this when it comes to buying speakers, and I know that the answer is 'what sounds best to me', but maybe there's something that I have overlooked. Maybe someone has had a bad experience, or has been blown away, etc.  I hope to buy one of these soon. I have an 80W NAD int amp and my room size is 14x12'
The speakers I've listened to in the last 3 days are :

Golden Ear Triton Two+ Tower
Paradigm 85F
KEF r700
B&Wcm10
revel F206
Focal Aria936

It's not easy to remember what one speaker sounded like when listening to a different one days later.
One dealer won't do an A-B comparison because he believes it's deceiving?
From what I've read, the Golden Ears are either loved or hated.

So any advice is appreciated.

Thanks!

With a relatively low powered amp you should take care to look at the sensitivity and impedance specs on the speakers you're considering.  Some of the speakers on your list are known to need some power to get the best out of them.  There is a nice pair of Joseph Audio RM25s for sale here now at a nice price that sound fantastic and don't require much power to drive.  Tough to beat at $1295 IMHO.  Best of luck.
Which ever speaker you choose make sure you have a good return policy in place. Speakers tend to sound different at home then compared to the store. Sometimes better sometimes horrible. Another post mentioned the Ryans ,That will probably be my next speaker. Good combination of old school base(clean and punchy) and nice clear non fatiguing highs. I also like the paradigm 85F good looking and build quality with nice detail price not to bad. Good Luck
Thanks for all the suggestions!  There's not a Ryan loudspeaker dealer within 2 hundred miles of me, so I can't check them out.  I visited a website that carries the Acoustic Zen, http://www.soundsofsilence.com/ and I wasn't familiar with anything there.  The Revel is 500 bucks cheaper than the others, so that's a plus.
 I've got it narrowed down to the Focal and Revel and luckily one dealer (about 90 minutes away) carries both.  I'm contemplating bringing my wife with me for another set of ears, but what do women know about hi-fi?  :)

where do you live?  I have a dealer friend who is placing his initial order w/ Ryan and that's how I'm getting my 610s.  I'm in Oklahoma City
I'm in NH and the closest dealer is in NY.  I'm not going to purchase anything without being able to audition them first.

Thanks!
