Demo suggestions

[Stereo Steve]

I have Ruark Prelude R mains at the mo and love them but they are a right pain with little kids running about and seeing as that is going to be happening for the next few years, I have decided to move to bookshelfs.

Budget is around £1000 and I'm looking at Ruark Sabre 3 as my first stop. Now, style is very important as we live in a barn conversion so nothing silver or flash in any way. Anything else I should ask to demo?

I would also shortlist the following:

Acoustic Energy AE1 Classic: £845
Monitor Audio GS10: £800
PMC TB2+: £875
Leema Acoustics Xen: £1000

Thanks,

Already had AE1 and PMC on my list. Will check the others. I do fancy PMC but have had very little experience of them.

 

[Dynaudio Desire]

Dynaudio Focus 110 £850, Dynaudio Focus 140 £1150. The focus range is an astonishing speaker range!!

Try the Totem Model 1, or others in the range. Very natural sound
Also Spendor
