Do any of these interest you at all? (If you had the money)(Which I don't)

just spend your entire speaker budget on the best Canton speakers you can afford.

mantaman, if I follow in my father's footsteps I will wind up the same way,
Fairly wealthy and deaf as a door knob. My plan is to use my system like giant hearing aids. Room control will become head control and I already have the power and soon the speaker to put out an easy 110 dB so I can destroy whatever hearing I have left:) You have to have a really good sense of humor to grow old gracefully. 
You young guys out there, don't forget to warm up your ears before you crank it up!

A very interesting list of speakers.
Even if I had the money and space, there are speakers available at a fraction of the cost of the least expensive of these, that I would choose over any of the ridiculously priced speakers on this list.......Jim
