Ah I've not heard any of these others in person. I almost heard the K 1s. Kef is it? But sadly I didn't end up going to Kevan's place. A homy of mine. So I didn't get to hear them in person. The Logitech I've heard cause another homy had some and a music appreciation teacher also had some. But of all the things I've heard in person I loved Bose. From what I've heard JBL is epic too.

If you like Bose and logitech then that's fine but they do indeed sound second rate when we're talking premium stuff from Kef and the like. Kef and B&W aren't all that more expensive so when all is said and done, its worth the wait even if you have to save your penny's, I very much enjoy my B&W A7 and as I've already said, for the Desktop speakers it will be a toss-up between Kef and B&W.
