I went into a local dealer on Saturday, trying to find a girlfriend-approved alternative to the AE Aegis Evo and B&W 600S3 speakers that I've been looking at.
I've been lurking for a while and heard (reasonably) good things about the M&K K series speaker package, and whilst it's very expensive it might just get past Mission Control. So I asked the fella in the shop, who said "Nah, they're crap and expensive, try the Kef eggs instead - 90% of the speaker for 50% of the price".
I listened to the eggs with a Denon 3802 driving them and was disappointed - they sound a bit restrained, lacking clarity and openness.
Anyone heard the M&Ks to compare? Was the guy in the shop talking out of his fundamental orifice, or are they all gonna sound crap compare to floorstanders at the front? I've not found anywhere in Nottingham(shire) that has them to demo so any advice is welcome before I travel.
TIA for any help.
