Never heard either one honestly. There’s just not a lot a lot of manufacturers making 3 way monitors that I know of. They measure well and get good reviews. I think for rock and faster bass heavy music it would definitely be a benefit having the dedicated mid driver.

Wharfedales have middle-road dynamics, not exactly "polite," but not thrilling either. For kicking dynamics within your budget: JBL, Epos, Bryston, Klipsch, and Focal.

He has to fly with them, and listen to doom. Interesting criteria. I don't have an answer, but this reminded me of the old cool KLH system in a suitcase (speakers and a turntable!), and the old Cambridge Soundworks company made a speaker-woofer suitcase rig also. You could fly with it, but this was pre-doom so to speak.
