Battle of the affordables

I have the KEF R7 Meta (the R11's were to big for my room) and am very pleased with them. The R11's were reviewed by Hi-fi News magazine and scored very well, in the high 80's, if I remember correctly. Well worth the audition.

Which one would you pick?

People are making recommendations and they have no idea what the core system is.  

Are certain speakers in your price range omitted on purpose. I see the SVS but not the MoFi 888’s, or Klipsch Cornwall IV’s. And of course at the risk of getting stoned by the crowd, Tekton. I was looking in the sub $5K range and wanted a big speaker to pair with 180wpc tube amps, and can’t afford Fyne, or Tannoy’s. But for me I wanted a fun musical speaker Vs something too analytical .

Yes, texas-jerry, but that is what the OP asked for.
