Message: <blockquote data-quote="Vaughan" data-source="post: 283090" data-attributes="member: 693">Asking which speaker sounds "best" is nonsensical - at best you'll receive a room full of answers. We all have our subjective opinions on what we feel sounds best to us, but we can't make your decision for you. For example, in a room your size, the RX6 (or RX8) would be more than capable of sustaining high SPL levels with decent heft at the bottom end. How high is high? Depends how spicy you like your curry. Mid-bass slam is decent, but the overall bass performance is largely determined by the room you place them in."Decent" as a term is just that - it's ambiguous and subjective, so what I find decent for me might not work with you. The RX6 has a similar tonal signature from the mid-range on up - otherwise less overall displacement, less mid-bass impact, less deep bass.I have never heard the Yamaha speakers on your list so I can't comment on their sound qualities which means I'm not sure whether you would prefer the sound of the RX to the Yamaha NS. Perhaps, but your preferences might not agree with mine. The jump in performance from the BX6 to the RX6 is, in my opinion, well worth it. You gain improved levels of refinement, furniture-grade finish and sturdier cabinets. I have no idea how the Soavo would compare to the RX8 (or any other speaker) as I've never heard of them. Personal preference is quite important here.</blockquote>
