I have recently purchased a pair of M35s from Global Hifi in Newcastle.  They were reduced to £199 and were as new, hadnt even been played in.  I have them connected to my Nad c350 amp hooked up with a nad cd player and my computer (mp3 collection).

 They need playing in, but once done so, they are amazing, fabulous midrange and loads of bass.  They also do not distort at higher volume levels at all. Really chuffed with them.  Not to mention the cabinets are really attractive.

I live in Canada and am searching for a pair of floorstanding speakers to go in a 400 sq/ft dining/living area with a Yamaha RX-396 receiver (I will eventually upgrade) with 50W/ch.  I will only have fronts and biwire them.  I am looking at Mission M33i (159.95 pounds), Mission M34i (249.95 pounds), Q Accoustics 1030i (229.99 pounds), Wharfdale Diamond 9.4 (179.95 pounds), and Mordaunt-Short Carnival 6 (229.00 pounds) or Mordaunt-Short Avant 904i (279.00 pounds).  Anyone have any ideas, advice, input concerning these speakers?  I know it seems like alot to comment on but I am leaning towards the Wharfdale Diamond 9.4 because of the quality for the price.  I am not into deep, heavy bass; I like a medium bass sound.  I just need a little more info to push me to choose.
