B&O RL6000 (vintage) vs. B&W 602 (used) vs. PeachtreeAudio D4 (new)

I am trying to decide between the following:
B&O RL6000 (vintage) vs. B&W 602 (used) vs. PeachtreeAudio D4 (new)
to be paired with a Peachtree Audio NOVA, for use in a small space (13' x 15').

Yes, heresy is involved here, as looks count only a little less than the sound.
The Bang & Olufsens win on looks, but I don't know how much sound quality I would be giving up compared to the B&Ws or the new Peachtree D4s.

I would not really wconsider the B&Os or B&Ws, which leaves the peachtrees which i know little about.

I recommend considering Philharmonic, Salk Sound, Vapor Audio, and Soundlabs speakers.

What is your rough budget?

It looks like your budget may be around $700 - All I will say is good luck, with your choice.

I would aim for something else like the Boston E60 speaker.
The picture
Boston Acoustics E60 (Cherry) Bookshelf speaker at Crutchfield.com

The measurement
The E60's listening-window response measures +1.25/–0.97 dB from 200 Hz to 10 kHz. The –3-dB point is at 65 Hz, and the –6-dB point is at 53 Hz. Impedance reaches a minimum of 4.36 ohms at 203 Hz

Zieglj01: Ouch. I guess I deserved your reference to the E60s, "the picture..."

I didn't mean to imply that I am closed to other (better sonically, in your opinion) suggestions. Quite the opposite. I should have been more clear when posting: please suggest away. And, visuals be damned.

My budget is indeed in the $700-$800 range.
