Best speakers for about $2000 a pair

I was looking at the Magnepan 1.7's but not real thrilled about some quality issues I hear about Maggies. So, what others should I be lookoing at. I tried out some Klipch WF-35 and they are just to bright and not much for soundstage. I can drive just about anything.

I agree with the Fritz Carbon 7s. With a free in home trial, how can you go wrong giving them a listen?

First, Thanks to all that have replied. I am going to look at the ones that came up over and over again. The room is a funny size. The listen area is about 16x16. But it is open to the dining area. adds another 10 feet. And stairwell area adds another 6 feet. I really do like the sound of the 1.7's. But, the room maye to small.

DonJr I am in the Twin City area of MN.

I am not a dealer. I just read that there can be some issues with the ribbon wearing out after awhile. Not sure how long that takes.

Aerial 10t, since you can drive anything. The more power you give these the more they relax and sing, but they do need some room to work well. You might have to stretch a bit more toward $3K.

If you raise your limits to $2500, there is no question–the LSA1 Statements. Nothing else is even close.

Heard a pair of VMPS 626's. About $1200. Tremendous imaging. Easy to drive and would be terrific with a decent tubed amp.
