Boenicke

@infection ,

I have ProAc speakers right now. You can see my system on line here at Audiogon. On my way to those I bought and sold many speakers on the used market while looking for the right thing for my system.

I have not heard the Boenicke speakers, and they have some great reviews. My comment was only a general comment based on my experience. I bought and sold a number of highly reviewed speakers along the way that were fine, but not to my personal taste.

Good luck with your search.

They are cut from the same cloth as the truly wonderful W5. Not heard them, but I think they might be killer.........

@gawdbless  -  yeah I have a feeling I'll love them...

@jperry  -  nice room & system. What do you like about the ProAcs?

@infection ,

Thanks for nice comments.

I like the natural sound (great on female voices in particular), imaging and the way the ribbon tweeter integrates seamlessly with the cone speakers.

If this is an important decision to you perhaps you might find a way
to go hear them? (As well as all the other contenders on your list. Call it a vacation unless your significant other is coming too. In that case it is just a "Getaway". Send her shopping somewhere else for the day while you do some listening!!
