They'll be used exclusively for music in a 13x19 room, wall-mounted, and driven by a 55 wp/c NAD amp. I have the option of coupling them with a passive subwoofer, so I care mostly about realism, clarity and detail above 100 hz. I listen mostly to rock and some jazz. Have heard good things about each speaker, and have eliminated several other choices in this price range, including offerings from NHT, B&W and Paradigm.
