Looking for a good full range floor stander

Cleeds right on. 

What you have going on are people whose feelings are hurt if you dont endorse their choices or believe like they do. 

We move in and out of products if we find a better one these are all just tools we are not married to our sound systems.

As dealers we endorse our products because we believe them to be excellent and considering we sell multiple brands of loudspeakers we dont feel one is necessarily better than another but better for certain tastes and attributes.

All you guys need to cool down your negativity, the advice we gave to the OP is sound. 

As stated before there is a difference in just playing loud and filling up a very large room with sound.

Bill Dudelston of Legacy is in to displacement hence he uses 12 inch or larger woofers which have higher power handling then many of Salks designs which use  8inch woofers.

If you want to fill a big room, play loud, not overheat your amp, have headroom and not cook your drivers you need large speakers with high output and power handling.

Many of the choices given here dont fit that mold. High efficiency means less power accross the voice coil to accheive the same spl which means less chance of failure of either the amp or the drivers.

Audio Doctor NJ

What most people dont realize is that Audiodoctor can probably carry any brand/line they want.  They carry and promote the ones they do because they clearly believe that they are the best out there.  Why is it that people don’t understand that?

If a Dealer promoted a speaker they didnt carry I would immediately ask “if its so great why dont you carry it?”

A respectful delivery goes a long way when exchanging ideas in this forum.

I have no dog in this hunt but would like to say something about audiotroy. 

I called him several months ago about a potential speaker sale. I had never spoken to him before. He spent about 30 minutes talking to me asking about my room, system, listening habits etc. We talked cables, power conditioning, amps, speakers and more. In the end, he felt like the product I was interested in might be too much of a lateral move and I should wait till I was ready to take a bigger step up. 

It was probably the most enlightening and enjoyable audio gear conversation I've had. He never went into "sales mode". He took a lot more time to go over things than I was expecting. It suggested to me that he is interested in building a business on satisfying customers rather than pushing people into buying things that aren't right for them.

Imo, he carries a wide enough range of brands that I feel he can provide a quality system for anyone's tastes at any budget. He also makes it very clear that he is a dealer and offers a lot of great advice on here. I don't have any problem with his contributions to this forum. I don't get the animosity towards him.

I have read alot of Audiodoctors posts and I have never seen him/them be even remotely disrespectful until after they have been attacked.

Everyone needs to stop being so delicate, especially online.
