Well I don't know the MAs well, so can't really comment on the relative merits. I know Dynaudio and their designers; their speakers are good but you may find the presentation a bit much if you prefer a more laid back sound - they have great dynamics. The Rotel RA-05 would be more than adequate to highlight the difference; the preference is up to you :) Rayleigh should be fine; I see they don't do the Dynaudios though. Challenge them to produce a great sound for your budget - they will be able to! They do Ruarks which are nice - I lived with a pair of Equinoxes (spelling?) for a time, which were so gently authoritative, lovely speaker. Make sure you take some great music along, and have fun! Let us know what you like there.
