Your Loudspeaker history...

Rogers LS4a - A bit bland
Harbeth HL-P3- Small scale dynamics and soundstage, otherwise good.
Spendor SA-1- Annoying upper midrange presence and a little dry.
Wharfedale Diamond 10.1 - Truly excellent for the money and more enjoyable than many more expensive mini's.
Epos ES-12 - Great sounding midrange and treble, bass a little soft, not as good as the ES-11.
Usher S520 - Reminded me of Proac but midrange lacks colour.
Proac Tablette Anniversary - Exciting listen but cannot do classical.
Harbeth P3ESR- See HL-P3, otherwise excellent.
PMC DB1- Really nice balance of virtues, musical and detailed bass, I miss them.
PMC 21 - Lacks bass, the revisions make them sound like Proac's.
PMC DB1+ - Really nice balance of virtues, musical and detailed bass, I miss them.
Proac Response D1- Pretty disappointing really.
Dynaudio Excite X12 - Great balance and timbre but soundstage is limited.
Epos ES-14 - I had great hopes but couldn't get them singing really, sold within a month.
Epos ES-11(Still own) - One of the best speakers I've ever heard, must be used with their own stands to draw out the best sound.
Audiomaster P202 (Still own) - ?
KEF LS50 - I've yet to hear them.
