Noel_II,

Tough call. When I've shopped for speakers this has always given me fits. Do I go with the more accurate, natural speakers ? Do I go with the speakers that have the dynamics and punch? Or, do I try to find a happy medium? My taste in music runs the gamut (did I spell that right?); rock, country, classical, blues, jazz, etc.. A set of speakers that sound great on rock might murder classical and a pair that sounds great with classical might lack the uumph needed for rock and fall flat on their face.
Here's an idea, take your current speakers, half a dozen of your favorite cd's, and compare the 2 speakers with music you listen to. My guess is that if your a Led Zepplin lover you'll stick with the ones you have. If Bach is your thing you'll get the more natural sounding ones. Of course, if you like Bach and LZ the saame, you might end up owning both!

PS
hermanv, I have to agree with you, Phillips is a lot better than a lot of people give them credit for. Great sound, no. Good sound, yes. Plus their stuff is built like tanks, and doen't cost you an arm and a leg!
