Does this speaker exist or am I being ridiculous?

Here's the laundry list folks:

- Full range (27Hz or below) - no need for subs
- Balanced sound - maybe a bit on the warm side
- Good at all the usual stuff - soundstage, imaging, detail retrieval, does the disappearing act
- Will fill a large room with sound
- Can be placed effectively within 18 inches of wall
- Great WAF - ie. really nice wood cabinetry, unobtrusive visually
- $3500 max new or slightly used
- Flexible on required amplification

Am I on drugs to think I can get all this?

Sure can. There is a pair of Green Mountain audio Imago's up.

7495.00 retail for 1950.00. It's actually one of Roy's better looking speakers. It makes a big speaker not look so big. It's a series II so there may be some upgrades available through Green Mountain up through series IV. Contact Roy if you need more info. Real 1/4" cheery wood panels float on sorbothane to give these a rich look without the woody sound.

Thanks - these are all well thought out suggestions that I will research and try to listen to.

Anyone have thoughts on the Spendor S8e? Would need a sub to dig deep but otherwise it might fit the bill and I have rarely seen more great reviews for a speaker - everyone that hears it seems very impressed including many here on Agon. The manual says it behaves fairly well close to the wall too. Maybe?

spendor is a nice balanced speaker for music lovers that wives won't cry about, and will effectly hit the bass notes most require. i would also add proac studio 200 and castle harlech as similar sized models with similar character. in any case, they will be enjoyed.
