The T5's do not exhibit this resonance that as far as I could tell but the highs are definitely a bit sharper compared to the larger tweeter on the T6 and B6.

Which one would you folks recommend? I am planning on adding a 12" sub to my setup.
19'x14' room with open kitchen and Denon 970h avr. Concerned about the 4ohm impedance and 86db sensitivity on B6. Could power be an issue with the B6?
If you have a sub I'd actually consider the Encore C6 just stand them upright - that had the most linear response out of all the Encore speakers they also don't seem to have that resonance like the B6 and T6 (check out Erins audio corner - he measured all 3 of the 6's). I don't think you'll have any trouble driving any of these especially as you'll have a HPF set up at 80hz or so.
Take rated sensitivity and impedance with a grain of salt. Most speakers today are 4 or 6 ohm regardless of what the spec is. The Encores play very loud with fairly low distortion - I cannot say the same for the Sony's (check out Audio Science Review).
Klipsch in particular overrates their speakers by a large margin - most are closer to 90db and 4 or 6ohm when tested.
