Which of these would you buy?


Here are my prefrences/gear. I have a small room and like Alt. rock but listen to a bit of everything. I want speakers that are forward, dynamic, clear, powerful, and have bass. Ill be driving the speakers with a Jolida 302B tube amp. I have IXOS Super Gamma 7 bi-wire and Audience Conductor interconnects.

Here are my choices:
Vandersteen 3, Audio Physic Spark I, PSB Gold-I, Spendor S6, JM Labs Chorus 726 S

Any speakers I should eliminate? Any I should add? What would you get?

Thanks :D

D. ,
My vote would be for the S-6, but is extremely biased because I have't heard any of the others.
I would try to get FL-6. They went out of production in 2000.
That model which I have now is front ported vs. rearported as in the newest design.
They are a breeze to set-up and of course can be close to the rear wall.
If you like intimacy ,directness,and sitting about row 5,
then you'll like these.

Vandys might be a bit soft sounding although I haven't heard the 3s in a few years. PSB Gold might be a good choice as I've heard them rock out hard in a dealer's showroom. Spendor's might also be a bit soft for you, JM Labs is known for a leaner sound, as is the Audio Physic, at least to my ears. You've got some very different sounding speakers on the list and how any of them mate with your amp is most important up front.
Totem Staff, Triangle Antal, PSB Gold, JM Labs Chorus 726S.

Which would be good for my 50 WPC Tube amp?

I want the one that sounds the most forward, dynamic, and powerful.
I certainly would not call the Vandy 3s forward, especially with tubes driving them...but they would most likely be the most musical in my opinion.
