One thing I missed hearing about is what kind of music you listen to and what qualities you consider most important to you in that music. What qualities have you liked or disliked in speakers you have heard? I think this is critically important in considering what to buy since there is no such thing as a speaker that does absolutely everything well. Also might be some information on the nature of your listening room.
For example, I listen to mostly symphonic music, acoustic music (folk, blues, etc.) and am an opera nut. I listen to a wide variety of pop music too. But my interest in opera and symphonic music trumps all other considerations, so, for me, absolutely clear, accurate reproduction of the human voice and the uncolored timbre of orchestral instruments is paramount. If a speaker can't do that, it's out of here!
I have owned many, many speakers--the list is too long to mention, but if you'd really like to know...LOL.
I have settled for now on a real nice pair of Quad ESL-63s I bought used for $1,800.00 a few years ago. They are one of the cleanest, clearest most uncolored speakers I have ever heard, but that's for what I care about. Someone who wants his chest pounded in by high-decible rock hour upon hour would not be happy with them.
Tell us a little about what you value.
