Eton 8.1's or Apogee Slant 6

I'm trying to decide which of the two would be my best choice. I have several amps both tube and solid state to drive them. My room is only 14' x 13'. A box yes. But which of the two do you think would sound the best? I like detail and transparency. I also want dynamics and power at lower listening levels. I have owned Apogees before and really like them but I know nothing of the Eton 8.1's. One last thing I'm using Spicas at the moment and they sound wonderfully with 2 subs. What's your opinion? Which speaker should I consider?

Hi Mr. Gallant, did I name names???? Now that you have taken your bow, I want you to know I held up the example of the Centaur mated with the FR because I wanted to make the point the Centaur ribbon is highly valued.

For those reading this thread, go to Gallant's system to see what I am talking about.

Those gorgeous Rosewood Centaurs are still their for the taking. They are in Oregon.

Maybe you would like Klipsch kg4's in that small room?...I have a pair and I like them a lot. (you can find them for 2-$300).

I had Apogee Centaur Minors in the past, and I still own Apogee Duetta Signatures, and Apogee Stage (MiniGrands).

I should have a pair of tweaked, and upgraded Klipsch Forte in a few days....a logical step up from my Kg4's in my fairly large room.

Note: My Kg4's aren't for sale

muralman: I took your point but then I enjoy picking on you also, in case you still have not noticed :)

Yes, seriously, I love the C-Major ribbon and even after may years since I discovered it I have been faithfully sticking with and it has been faithflly serving me.

Muralman,
I am assuming we are talking about Eton8.1 kit from Madisound? I own a pair that were built by Lee Taylor (the cabinets) and love them. Let me know if these are what you are talking about and I will comment further.
