Best $3000 - $4000 loudspeaker?

VMPS RM 40's, Winner of the CES a couple of years ago not to mention glowing reviews. They are the best speaker I've heard and are my next speaker. I'd like to hear the Von Schweikerts but you'll be hard pressed to outdo the RM 40's for under ten grand. A true case where superlatives apply. Check out the VMPS circle at audiocircle.com. The bass is excellent, mids to die for and the highs are also excellent. They use planar mids and ribbon tweeters.

Revel Performa F32

Vandersteen 3A Sigs.

Proac D15, only $3000 for a fun sounding, beautifully finished speaker. Check out the d25 is you want to spend a bit more to get a wonderful speaker with all the attributed of ones costing a lot more.

In my book, the hot tickets are the Gallo Ref 3, the Von Schweikert VR4-jr., and the new VMPS RM30. These are all terrific, state-of-the-art products, albeit very different designs. But I'd start with a listen to the Gallos, given the price and the superb reception to it.
