Speakers that sound like Usher Be-20s/10s

I am looking for speakers. I am a fan of the Usher sound - superb 3d soundstage, excellent leading edge dynamics, great attack and transients that make one jump out of the chair. I am considering the BE20s/10s in the used market but given their huge size and room requirements and low availability in the used market I am in two minds. Can anyone recommend a speaker that sounds similar? Especially previous Usher owners? I was considering Revel Salon 2s but got the impression that they are a little un-exciting and don't have a good attack (I may be mistaken)
My amp - Rotel 1090
Thanks!

10 and 20 are 2 of the worst speakers on the market

First you have to undestand an be aware of the properties of your Rotel. Rotel is a 2-dimensional brand. It has only a little depth. For a deep and wide stage you need an amp which can do this. Rotel does not have these skills. All amps I test if they can give a 2 or 3-dimensional image. For me it is easy as 1 and 1 is 2.

Bol972's comments may be a tad hard to digest at times but I concur.
The Rotel wont do justice to the "somewhat beryllium" tweeters. Don't get me wrong, the Ushers sound very good even with a scandalous less than pure Be tweeter.
Woofers are hard to deal with. Like the Alto Utopia.
Can sound nasal with flabby bassif not driven right.

I hope people will open there eyes and ears. People have to learn to understand better what the properties/talents are of the stuff they own. I am not here to provoke. In the 15 years I am in this business I saw how often and easy people make misstakes cause of lack in knowledge in audio.
