Does this speaker exist or am I being ridiculous?

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.

sorry didn't see your $3500 budget limit.
W2's are $7K

Look into the Minis @ AV123. Their in room reponse is close to what you stipulate and the upper frequency is very flat, smooth and some say a tad bit warm.

OBTW the GMA speakers are nice but a bear to have shipped.

Good luck on your quest.

I haven't heard it myself, but can vouch for what others say and my own experience with the designer's other products, the Intutive Design Summit speaker. There is a review of it on Audiogon under the user name mdhoover. There is also a review on the Stereo Times website under the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest show coverage, and the same under the Pacific Northwest Audio Society November newsletter for the RMAF show report. I am considering trying out a pair myself. The main problem with any speaker in this price range is that it will be difficult to reproduce the lowest bass in what will almost certainly be a small cabinet and drivers for the modest price. If the speaker is designed to produce the lowest octave of bass there will probably be major problems elsewhere, like low voltage sensitivity and/or poor soundstaging. The best thing would be to get a speaker that does everything else well and hook up a sub that only produces the lowest bass that your main speakers will not make, such as a REL sub.
