Looking for a good full range floor stander


Hello all.  Making a good two way system for a 20 x 40x 12 high room budget 12k to 16 k.  Powered by a bryston 14b cubed amp.  Have a surround system with Golden ear ref and surrounds powered by parasound a21 for mains  and Carver cinema grand for surrounds. Like the GEs  The speakers I'm looking for will be for music only lots of jazz (female vocalist a fav), classical, classic rock and roll (70's and up).  I have heard good things about proac k6, Joseph audio, and a few others but am not within 4 hours of audition range.  Real interested in people in the know about the proac or suggestions.  Thanks in advance.

Silfoth  we didnt bad mouth Salk we in fact said for the Op large room he would need the Salk model with the powered woofers.

Nor did we badmouth Wilson

Mtdining, the Sabrina are excellent loudpeakers that are not designed for this size room.

You would need a set of Daw or Alexias to provide enough air movement for this size room


Rbach there are no words suitable for you. You and Rebstero are complaining we only endorse our products didnt we just say above

Twoleftears unless subs are used still way too small for the op room also not efficient enough.

The encore 3 is the only Salk that would work to cover that much air space.

Legacy, Tekton, Salk encore would really do the job.

We dont sell Salk or Tekton now do we?

Silfoth look at myostyn reply above and see who is being nasty unless the moderators removed it he said some pretty insulting things.

Big flat planers have tons of problems.

To recap to fill up a big room properly

1. High efficiency speakers
2. High power handling
3. High spl output the combo of above as well as having low levels of compression
4. Deep bass output 

Horns with subs, compression drivers, dynamic loudspeakers, large dynamic loudspeakers will all do it.

It is really that simple.
As the OP has amps that offer 600 wpc., I think speaker efficiency will not be a limiting factor unless the speaker has a nasty impedance dip.
Most here on Audiogon know of my love for Vandersteen- which Audiotroy doesn't carry. The Quatros's and above have subwoofers that can be EQ'd to the room. And, I am sure they will fill his room with enough sound pressure to make his ears bleed.
My other recommendation would be MBL. They ain't efficient, nor cheap, but will out perform anything out there when given the proper signal.

I like the Joseph Audio Perspective2 Graphenes. They fill my 18’ wide 25’ deep 10’ tall room easily using 300 watt per side amps. They are a speaker to hold onto for life. 

Audiotroy is biased. 
No Marklarsen 18 by 25 by 10 is a much smaller room then 20 by 40 by 12
Nothing about bias the Pearls are far more appropriate.
