Secondary Speaker

it is so hard to find the perfect loudspeaker for ones needs. I need everybody’s help in finding something suitable for my second house. I spend about 1/3 of my time there and I listen to a lot of music. So here is my criteria…

Almost full range: 28-20K with really good bass – enough to loud a 20x30 room
Efficient: preferably 90db or up
Loud: must have the dynamic capability to play loud enough to fill my room
Nice looking: stupid I know, but no way around it
Versatile: It must play Rock, Electronic, New age, Classical, and Pop all really well
Price: Under $2000

I was thinking about the B&W B&W DM603 S3 which just received stereophiles budget product of the year.

Anybody have any suggestions?

Paradigms are big enough but are not the last word in speakers. But in a space that large with bass to spare you might want to consider them.

Mechans brings up a good point. The Studio 100 V.3 might be what you are looking for. 2300 new, should be able to talk the dealer down to under 2000 if you are buying new.

I'd go for something used. If you can find a pair of the original Silverline Sonata's, they would meet all of your criteria. Full range, very efficient, dynamic, performs well with all music types and very appealing looks. Probably can be had for $1800 - $2200.
