Kef Blade or Wilson Audio Alexia?

KEF should have outspent for a better space at the Denver Marriott. Begs the question of what kind of room you need in order to get ten of thousands of dollars of sound out of them. I am not saying they are bad; to me they did not do well at RMAF.

I'm sure both speakers sound really nice but, IMHO, they are both fugly as hell.

I think the Kefs look awesome, I think the looks of these will divide many.  I want to get a pair because I think they would look great in my living room.  

Wilsons are always ugly though, my one major caveat. KEF Blades actually look nice IMO.  With that budget I'd DEFINITELY check out the TAD Evolution 1s.

Both of the speakers under discussion have left me feeling slightly uncomfortable in the past, for very different reasons. You should try and hear the Monitor Audio PL500 before deciding on either..
