Dave I listen to a lot of acoustic music - including large choirs. For such music I would think that a flat response would be the best kind of thing. I don't like electronic music at all.
Where good quality systems are concerned, it seems the best to stick to brands that are known for good speaker design although they are more expensive?

They run balanced and unbalanced xlr and rca out, and sound really good on lossless stuff. It depends what you want, I wanted to hear a flat frequency response, not any sort of pre-designed emphasis of the lows or highs. I don't have experience with any of those systems, I do have a bose companion 5 system at university and have been pretty impressed with it, but again, it's not a flat freq response system, it's a consumer speaker and damn good at what it does. I hope that helps a little? Always listen before you buy, you know that, but sometimes it bears repeating especially when you see a good price online. Also, test it with different genres of music or the most often listened-to genre that you know you'll be playing on the speakers.
