These are all available in my area. These are all said to be great speakers. The first 3 listed are lacking base relative to the ADS, KEF 107 and the RTR.
I can add a sub woofer to the KEF 105.4, Sony or the Alon's These are all speakers known to image very well and be extremely clear and articulate.
ADS is a sound I am familier with as I currently run ADS 1230's. The KEF 107 would likely sound stage well and provide the base but I have heard the mid and tweeter may be difficult to repair if they have need. ADS has Richard So to help us out. The RTR's have fenolitic (Spelling?) ring tweeters. I don't know if they are like the ones in my old Altec 887a and 891a's but my opinion is that those are not great. I like the Sony as they appear to be simple speakers that will likely be easily maintained over many years. If the origional drivers fail I would think it may be easy to replace with high quality drivers and maintain an excelence. I love my ADS speakers but I am interested in the sharp focus of more traditional cone type tweeters. I may be wondering off the path with that Idea. I also question the ability of the 910 and the RTR's to present a sound stage like the other choices. In some ways the KEF 107 seems like the all arounder that fits but add a sub woofer and the smaller speakers jump into the mix and compete well......I think.
The listening room has concrete floor. I have choices for amplification from Fisher X-101-D, Heathkit AA-40 or Aragon 2004 MkII
What do you guys think. Your help is invaluable and very much appreciated. Other suggestions? Any one heard Radford S.90's
