You just have to like to listen to it, nothing more....... :^)

If you wnt to see some rally ugly speakers, take a look at my system. Plain Janes if ever there were one, but they do make beautiful music....

I don't think they are ugly, but that Nextel finish certainly isn't pleasant to the eye.

Shakey

IF NExtel is good enough for the Space Shuttle, its good enough for me.....

Over 13" wide and they can only get 8" drivers for the bass ! I'm disappointed ...

High quality bigger speakers with bigger and/or more drivers are often only really justified in larger rooms. In a smaller room, particularly if lively to start, bigger may not be better. I'd lean towards teh smaller monitors and have the option to add a sub only if really needed. Its easier to upsize tht way if needed than downside if speakers are overkill for the room. 220 pounds each would seem to indicate very good build quality and corresponding muscle to go along with it.
