good job on narrowing down your speaker choices to these two... since they both sound good to u & price is similar, then to me the choice is simple.. just go for the speakers that look good to u or fits ur home deco more. cheers smile.gif

TS, Can't agree with ronnt more, when all sounds superb just go for which pleases the eyes more ..

Did you guys even read the first post, he already audit the speaker, and narrowed to those two. He likes both, so now he's asking our opinions to choose. nod.gif 

So it's not about how it sounds anymore. Now he has to consider about the look, color, specs, warranty, brand reputations, etc. Let's give your input (or poison). tongue.gif

I think you missed out value ... popularity of speakers will help you alot on your next upgrade as it'll sell faster.
But Really go for the looks ... when you have a hard time choosing.

Maybe these would help,

When John Atkinson suggested that I review the Monitor Audio Silver RS6, I never expected the level of realism I ended up hearing from this loudspeaker. There's nothing much more I can say—the flawless and exceptional Silver RS6 gave me more listening pleasure than any other loudspeaker I have reviewed for Stereophile. In my more than 20 years of reviewing, I have not reviewed an audio component that produced greater sound quality per dollar than Monitor Audio's Silver RS6.

I listened to MA RS6's at the Northern Hifi Show 06 held at Manchester airport here in the UK. They were running a 5.1 setup off of Chord's new media server and a 5 channel Chord amp, all the source and amplification components summed together cost several times the price of the speakers. However, this is fairly common practice for dealers and manufacturers when demoing equipment.

I must say that I thought that it was once of the best sounding systems of the show. In comparison, the range topping B&W N801 system was coloured, althought I'm almost sure that was a side effect of the room and very poor setup.

Meezo looks so sexy like B&W 700 series.

Anyway, off topic. How much you guys get the Onkyo 875? Currently own NAD T763 and cascade to Marantz PM7001KI for back surround channel. Wish to invest in Blu-ray but need to upgrade amp (due to DTS-HD format).

There was a sale last couple of weeks, straight from Onkyo factory. I think this guy has one more unit left:

EDIT: Looks like you already found the thread. And no more 875, hope there will be second batch. icon_rolleyes.gif
