looking for circa $5k full range towers


Hi

I'm looking to move to the next level. Currently my setup include a pair of Usher 6371 towers powered by Jeff Rowland 201 monos in SS and Shanling sp-80 monos in tube.
I have around $5k for new/used full range speakers and i'll appreciate your thoughts.

PSB Synchrony One Tower. $5K/pair. Review here. A good all-rounder. Reasonably sensitive, excellent dynamic range, good detail, uniform dispersion and power response, good frequency extension, and PSBs tend to excel at a realistically portrayed, neutral uncolored midrange. The review concludes:
The last two speakers I reviewed, the Sonus Faber Cremona Elipsa (December 2007) and the KEF Reference 207/2 (February 2008), each cost around $20,000/pair. As much as I was impressed by those highfliers, PSB's Synchrony One reached almost as high for just $4500/pair. Its slightly forward low treble will work better with laid-back amplification and sources, and its warmish midbass region will require that care be taken with room placement and system matching. But when everything is optimally set up, the Synchrony One offers surprisingly deep bass for a relatively small speaker; a neutral, uncolored midrange; smooth, grain-free highs; and superbly stable and accurate stereo imaging....
