Vandersteen Quatro

Correction !!!
I Contacted Roman ( Roman is a son of Andrew - who is behind a speaker design. Roman worked on Wall Street and now is trying his strengths in audio industry with help of his brilliant father ) and find out that speakers actually sell for $2495 each. The show discount still apply but that would bring a total to $4490.
That may be way over your budget but you can a least check out his website for future references. There is also a good review from Stereophile mag.
These are only some of the informations :

Two 7" (18cm) Glass Fiber Mid-Woofers in MTM configuration

SPL: 90 dB 1W/1m
Impedance: 4 Ohms
Dimensions: 23.6" H x 9.4" W x 12.4" D (60cm x 24cm x 32.5cm)
Weight: 41 lbs (18.5 kg)

Thanks, Mrjstark. I heard the Lipinskis at HE2007. The sounded very nice, but are beyond my price range (especially since I'll need to replace my Vandy center speaker with a matching center speaker as well). I've heard the Zu speakers at several shows, HE2007 and Vacuum Tube Valley 2006, and while they sounded nice, they just didn't create magic for me. I seek a real emotional connection to the music. I very rarely get that with my 1Cs, but speakers that reliably deliver that to me cost a lot more than I can afford right now. Thanks again for your help.

In this case, your only logic option would be to go with Vandersteen 2 Sig.IIs . A lots of "audiogoners" have very positive comments about them. I think JR will probably give you a better insight to their sound characteristics & performance evaluation. He is a "Vendys" dealer - so he should know better then my self ( I personally didn't have a chance to hear 2Sig.IIs yet ).

I actually have 2 great local Vandy dealers... unfortunately, as I stated above, the 2Ce is too wide for the alcove of my room where the speakers must reside. Hence the requirement of a more narrow width profile speaker.
