2. speakers
  3. 1090441258

Which of these would you buy?

Here are my prefrences/gear. I have a small room and like Alt. rock but listen to a bit of everything. I want speakers that are forward, dynamic, clear, powerful, and have bass. Ill be driving the speakers with a Jolida 302B tube amp. I have IXOS Super Gamma 7 bi-wire and Audience Conductor interconnects.

Here are my choices:
Vandersteen 3, Audio Physic Spark I, PSB Gold-I, Spendor S6, JM Labs Chorus 726 S

Any speakers I should eliminate? Any I should add? What would you get?

Thanks :D

The Vandersteen 3A sigs should prove to be superb performer
If you are in a very small room.
You would always have the option
of inserting a Vandy Hi Pass box before your amp adjusting
to what works best in your room in small increments adjusting the bass to your preference
and hi passing the amp would offer far better performance
not to mention making it easier on the tubes.

I just talked to my friend whos an Audiophile. He recommended me KEF Q11's or ENERGY CONNOISSEUR C-9's. I think ill get one of those, can anyone compare the 2?

12' X 11' Rectangle. Each speaker will be 6ft from me and about 7ft apart. They will each have at least a foot of wall clearance and 2ft from the side wall.

6ft is too close for the Vandy 3. I would eliminate that.

If you like forward, dynamic, and clear sound, you might want to add the Energy Veritas line to your short list.
