I can give you a bit of insight on the MA's. I have the PMC700's, CC70, and the PMC 703's. They sound fantastic on Jazz, Classical, and Blues. My 700's are used only for surround, so I can't really judge them in 2-channel. I will probably only buy MA speakers from now on. So life-like. I'm currently thinking of upgrading to the GR-60's for a better Rock presentation and selling my PMC's, hard to do, tho. You will be pleased with any of the MA speakers (except the silver series, mass market). Good luck.
