Focal 905 vs 806v vs Martin Logan M15 vs Ohm MicroWalsh

Hi:

After many, many searchs, I doubt about these speakers. I will use them with Peachtree Nova 65SE. Genres (sort by frequency): rock, folk, minimal techno, jazz, classical. The room are 18-20 m2.

Thanks for your opinions!

Regards!

You're welcome.

Thank you very much. I'm buying my first Hi-Fi gear (for many years, I hope) and I want to hit the right choice.

Since I'm listening to a pair of Motion 15s right now, that is where I cast my vote. In fairness, I haven't heard the others.

Which of these speakers have you had a chance to listen to in person yourself ?

Tomorrow I'll have the chance for listening both Focal: 905 and 807v. The alternatives (Martin Logan and -my favourite, I confess- Ohm) are my selection from the reviews and the prices I found. I'm living in Colombia since a year ago. Prices soar in this corner of the world compared to Spain, from I come from. So, other alternatives (monitor audio, B&W, etc.) are overpriced here and, therefore, discarded.

As an alternative to the Motion 15, you could try to track down a pair of LX16. They are a discontinued model, identical drivers but with a flat top. They usually go a bit cheaper than the 15.

Yes, I'm valuing this option, 110 usd cheaper.

ah, I also thought about the Peachtree D5 (590 usd)
