Speaker Help for 2000 to 3000

I have an 18 X 24 room, vaulted ceiling, hardwood floors. Mcintosh MA6900 Int and a Rega Planet CD Player. I'm looking for speakers which if set up right will give me a wide soundstage, good bass impact, and be detailed. I am thinking about new PSB Goldi, or used B&W 802 series 3 or Thiel 3.6s Any other suggestions for the money? Thanks! PS my music is mostly classic Rock and my Wife likes Country.

The latest Listener magazine reviews several speaker models for $3K retail, including some you wouldn't normally come across. Really good information. -Kirk

Sounds like you both like vocals. I listen to a lot of rock, zydeco and country on my Harbeth Compact 7's. Check them out at Wintertreeaudio.com. Garnet, the proprietor of Wintertree is the North American distributor for Harbeth. Harbeth speakers are used as monitors by the BBC and there is no more accurate speaker at reproducing the human voice.

Out of all the B&w 802 series 3 matrix are the best hands down. But why buy those If you can pick up a pair of b&w N803s for 3,200 to 3,600 used. They smoke the matrix 802s. Also have you ever heard martin logans? They have a very open sound but the bass is not very coherent but with a sub they sound very good
