Best speakers 2,500 can buy.

I am currently looking at Totem Hawks, Gallo ref3,and merlin TSM speakers. I have narrowed it to these three. But I cannot decide from here. I have an average room at 14x24, and I listen to music 75% versus video 25%. I am looking for a very detailed hi resolution type speaker. I want it to be very musical also. I have climbed up the ladder from polks to B&Ws, but want my next purchase to last a long while. Need opinions.

The Gallos are the best speakers I've ever heard for anywhere near their price. And, their small footprint is an added bonus...

One thing, though, it would behoove you to audition the speakers in your listening environment - then you'll know for sure what will work best.

Good luck!

The Usher CP 6371/6381 match your description and price range. They do a good job of being resolving and musical at the same time.

Buy a used pair of Audio Physic Virgo IIs. One of the finest speakers I have ever heard.

If you are willing to go to ~$3,000 I don't believe you can match the performance of used Genesis Technologies 500's. They are a former Stereophile class A and unbelievable with a relatively small footprint. Outstanding bas and extremely detaild mids and highs and you don't need a monster amp to drive them. Check the stereophile archives for the review Magazine: Stereophile

They are not easy to find at $3,000 but there is a pair for sale right now on A'gon.
