	Concerning the choices of speakers I recently went auditioning
speakers in the ~$300 range which included both models of Acoustic
Research mentioned (AR 19, 20) along with comparitively priced Boston
Acoustics, Shnell.  I finally sprung for B&W 100 (and some letter, maybe 'm'),
which stood head and shoulders above all except the more expensive AR. As I
climbed prices towards $500 the only better sounding speakers were more
expensive B&Ws with ARs still close.  As I say I ended up with the B&W so
I feel you should check them out (retail $339; I got them for $299).
