Which Budget Friendly Floorstanders Next?

One of my favorite dynamic speakers, for the money, or even twice the money (sold new for around $2,400.00 and, if you can find, used for around $1,000.00) is the mid 2000s model, Canadian made, PSB Stratus Stratus Gold i. A fairly large floor standing speaker, that when set up properly, simply does everything right. It needs to be at least 3' from the rear wall and a good foot from the side walls and needs to be in a room at least 12' x 20' to really open up and sound great. Imaging is incredible with a deep and wide sound stage. Base is deep and tight (no need for a sub, as long as you have enough clean power); mids, especially female vocals, strings and horns, just sound right; percussions are quick and dynamic and highs are crisp and clean. It is 4 ohm, so needs an amp that is up to the task.
I have long been a fan of electrostats and ribbons, but for a cone driver, dynamic speaker, this remains high on my list of favorites.
Just a thought,

So what type of music do you like?  This may help us with recommendations.  I can tell you that the JBL Studio 570/580/590 are much better than entry level Revel in sound quality just not in looks and finish.  I have owned the Focal 726 also and they just cannot compete with the JBL in any genre of music.  That JBL compression driver is quite special.

Ohm Walsh 2000.  Golden Ear (any model in your budget).  Both are what I would call "different".

Ascend Acoustics Sierra 2 with RAAL ribbon tweeter. Seriously impressive, and right within your budget...
