Help me chose: Verity - PBN Montana - Gemme Audio

Greetings

I am looking a pair of used speakers and the following are available near me:
___________________________________
Reference 3A Grand Veena - $6899
Gemme Audio Katana - $6054
VERITY AUDIO Fidelio - $4224
PBN MONTANA EPX - $5491

I do not have anything today :/ I miss listning to music through some "real" speakers. What I do have however is a source. I will use Modwright Transporter to play FLAC/Wav.

I would consider myself a musiclover foremost and audiophile second. What I mean is that I am not looking for a super detalied sound that will make bad recordings sound shit. I hate thin sound and treble that gives you headache. Detailed and organic is what I am looking for, I think. I want to be emotional engaged in the music.

I would rather give up some detail for speakers that breath life.

Bad recordings can not be fixed, that I know.

Sorry for my bad english, I am Swedish ;)

Thanks.

.Sebastian.

Hmm...ok, but why?! Have you heard the whole lot or? How would you describe the Katanas?

I have the Verity Fidelio Encores in my secondary system and I love them. They are extremely accurate and detailed but not what I would call organic. They will very accurately let you hear the quality of your music source and other upstream components - good, bad, or otherwise. A really great speaker, and if in great condition, a bargain at the stated price. Good luck!

I like Katans design because they are placing more emphasis on the box construction (tenon and mortise, larger bracing, 2 inch MDF in front and back) to ensure stiffer and stronger enclosure. The fact they use ceramic drivers helps but I like to look at some innovation instead of just placing ceramic, kevlar, or wood pulp drivers in a box.

Avalon and Ascendo also has unique emphasis on box construction.
