Full Range under $5k-ish

ebm what does that statement mean?

Beetlemania, how do you know if the OP would like a Vandy, if you like a more detailed presentation the OP would not like them also their 1970's look makes many a wife unhappy, they are good loudspeakers for the money. also Thiel is out of business why would you recommend a product that may be difficult to service?

Again the OP needs to look at our list of questions and make up a list of products that may work based on these criteria.

I think Audiotroy's questions are legitimate, his dealer status notwithstanding.  Loudspeakers really are a matter of taste; one person's neutral is another person's boring.

My best advice to the OP is to demo as many speakers as you can, and bring your amp (and your music) to the showroom.  Take your time.

That all being said, I have Vandersteen 3a Signatures, which are full rangers under $5K.  I adore them, and they work wonderfully in my large room, with my electronics (Ayre), my music (jazz and rock), and most importantly, my ears!

Best of luck in your search; let us know what you end up getting!  

My vote is for Vandersteen as described above, used Thiel 2.4s (I own them) or, if you can find a pair, Meadowlark Kestrels or larger.
