Hi,
I'll be powering the speakers with a Denon AVR X6500H and the lower end will be compensated by a SVS12 NSD.
Plan on getting an external amp at some point.
I was running Monitor Audio Silver 200s, until the tweeters went south.
Now, I'm trying to be very careful with my next purchase and want to ask for opinions on my choices.
Revel F35 Leaning toward this one, but it's listed as 6 ohm speaker. Not sure how far it will dip below that, but it may be too much for the 6500 to handle.
@amirm and What HI-FI? like it, but I'm concerned the Denon won't.

The Monitor Audio Silver 300 is a beauty for sure but is it style over substance? Rated at 8 ohms and should be fairly easy to drive at 90dBs.

And the dark horse; Wharfdale EVO 4.3. I like the looks of this. Another one that should be easy to drive.

Room is 14' X 17' and carpeted. The speakers will only be 16"-18" away from the front wall (was looking for front ported because of this) and at least three feet away from side walls.
Room is carpeted except for a small area of tile on one side.
Main listening position is 16 feet from the front wall. No acoustical treatments other than soft furniture and some wall art.
Any suggestions on a brand I missed and thoughts/opinions will be much appreciated.
And, yes, I'm only considering passive towers/floor standers.
Thanks!
