The Trident HG3's will probably be a little less expensive than either of those monitors. I really like the K&H O300's, except for the lack of extreme bottom end, and the built-in limiter. The HG3's go lower, and we disabled the limiters in the power amp modules. It's also easier to get incredible imaging with the HG3.
I haven't heard the barefoots enough to form an opinion either way, but the Tridents will certainly be less expensive than the MM27 or the MM35. Thomas Barefoot has put a lot of thought into the design of his speakers and I greatly respect his design decisions (while not always agreeing with all of them).
I'll be really curious to hear the final results of the "shootout" that Alan alluded to. I think we'll beat (or hold our own) against the others in bottom end, overall smoothness, and imaging. However it turns out, I'm honored to have the Trident HG3's considered in a shootout between these other fine speakers.
