Speaker Help

my budget would probably top out around $3500. No I'm not looking to change amps or pre. The Vandy 2 would be my starting point. But where do I go up from there. I know the 3. I have never heard Sonus Fabers. I do like the Olympica II but do they have any bass? They may be slightly over what I want to spend. The Gershmans were fine. The problem I had was with that "lady" that acts like she's doing you a favor by not helping you when you call them. I've never heard Proacs either.

This Spendor A5r should fit the bill! Outstanding Speaker!

Yogiboy is on the right track, but go with the new Spendor A4 -- killer speaker for the price - excellent British midrange but with some real bass punch and depth. They're one of the most well-rounded speakers I've heard in recent years.

You should also consider speakers from Fritz. Something with a ScanSpeak 18W in a 2-way. :) Lush/warm as hell. 

We have a terrific pair of Gershman sonograms for $2k smooth, musical great bass.
