I own the silverline's, a very detailed speaker. They would work well with your music taste, I use them with all solid state equipment. Their primary use is for home theater and DVD audio. Hope this helps.

You might want to check into some Dunlavys or Vandersteens. Both are time and phase coherent and represent true bargains in high-end audio.

The Dunlavys certainly don't sound like boxes. To a perhaps slightly lesser degree, neither do the Vandersteens. Both will easily surpass anything offered by Magnepan, which impress people mainly by offering a big vertical image. They and Martin Logans aren't even in the same ballpark if you're looking for accuracy. But not all people care about that.

Coincident speakers have treated me much better than most listed here. If you can, check out conquests or victorys.

If you have the room get the Maggie's. For Jazz and vocals I've not found a speaker that will match them at any price range. But, they do take a good deal of room to work properly and placement is critical. Once set up they are the closest to the real thing that I've heard.

Your room is big..that is a plus..I would suggest you Legacy Focus 20/20 ..also VMPS speakers are so good..RM40 is for $5000 and if you can afford to pay $10 000 then the new RM/X...
