Not many surprises really, most of those are pritty good performers. The one that is farly dark is Rel Q150E MKII, REL often win the magazine awards but there are loads of alternatives thet are worth a look these days. Velodyne, MJ Acoustics, B&W, Svsubwoofers, Paradygm, Mission KEF, Monitor Audio all have decent models.
I'd agree with all of those that I've heard/seen, apart from the Mission M70s, Ive heard the front stereo pair that go with those and I thought they sounded quite muffled and didn't sound anywhere near as good as the Wharfedale equivalents, even the KEF ones had one over.
To be fair the Warfedale and KEF may not have been eqilivants, equilivants would be if they were compared to the Mission M71 and M72 standmounts. The M70 was the lowest model.
