Dali Epicon 2 or Monitor Audio PL100

Greetings!
I have a small home theater; 10 x 12 feet. I have a 50" Panasonic plasma on the wall. Under that is a Sunoko Vent AV rack and on the top shelf is where my center speaker sits. I am contemplating Dali Epicon 2 or Monitor Audio PL100 to the right and left. Depending on which bookshelf sounds the best, will determine which center speaker, I will choose - Dali Vokal or Monitor Audio PL150.
Anybody have any thoughts please on which is the better speaker please?
Movies only, movies movies all the way!

Most things are written in english. You can see what I am doing now. It is totally different than other people do in audio.

"Hi Bo,Thank you for your excellent advice. I have decided on the PL100's and I made my order, so the Dali no longer interest me."

Wow, that was easy....

Hello Branslav,
Yes, it was that easy. I have been a fan of Monitor Audio for quite a while, having owned several of their different ranges over the last eight years. Call it "brand loyalty" for now.
Other factors;
When you put the Dali Epicon 2 v's the Monitor Audio PL100 and compare the following;
Price difference - Monitor Audio are much better value for money by a long shot.
Looks - Monitor Audio just exude exuberance.
Performance- ? (No Dali owners made any comments)
It is impossible in my area to find a dealer who supplies both of these models in order to make a direct comparison. So I have to rely on reviews online. I think many of us have to do this. There are several reviews online for Monitor Audio and all very positive. The are positive reviews for Dali too, but when you consider the above, as in value for money and the "drop dead" Monitor Audio good looks...it's bye bye Dali! (For now, anyway)

In fact, I am also surprised that no Dali Epicon owners came on to speak up for their chosen brand. Perhaps, you are a Dali Epicon owner and would like to something positive regarding Dali, rather than making some quick smart comment.
We can all do that you know, but where's the fun in that?

At the rate that I change and tweek my set up, the MA's will do for now. I have already booked my ticket for arguably the worlds greatest Hi-Fi Show. Roll on Germany, May 17th 2015 and let the party continue!
When the sun goes down on a daily basis, let's not forget, isn't all great fun!
