Forgot to mention that the shop had some KEF Ref 205 floorstanders....those sounded real good. I don't know how much they cost though.

I'm the guy with Curtis when we listened to the Usher and Totem.
I'll second everything he said in terms of holistic impressions (I don't possess the audio vocabulary and listening refinement).
The difference between the 340SEs and Ushers were minimal in the shop--at 400/pair they seemed like a much better deal--but dramatic at home. This was surprising since they are front ported, and one would think my set-up, with a wall unit, would favor the Ushers. A perfect example of why one should try speakers out at home.
No need to praise my speakers here!
