Looking for a good full range floor stander

A respectful delivery goes a long way when exchanging ideas in this forum.

I have no dog in this hunt but would like to say something about audiotroy. 

I called him several months ago about a potential speaker sale. I had never spoken to him before. He spent about 30 minutes talking to me asking about my room, system, listening habits etc. We talked cables, power conditioning, amps, speakers and more. In the end, he felt like the product I was interested in might be too much of a lateral move and I should wait till I was ready to take a bigger step up. 

It was probably the most enlightening and enjoyable audio gear conversation I've had. He never went into "sales mode". He took a lot more time to go over things than I was expecting. It suggested to me that he is interested in building a business on satisfying customers rather than pushing people into buying things that aren't right for them.

Imo, he carries a wide enough range of brands that I feel he can provide a quality system for anyone's tastes at any budget. He also makes it very clear that he is a dealer and offers a lot of great advice on here. I don't have any problem with his contributions to this forum. I don't get the animosity towards him.

I have read alot of Audiodoctors posts and I have never seen him/them be even remotely disrespectful until after they have been attacked.

Everyone needs to stop being so delicate, especially online.

I think disparaging planar speakers is most disrespectful.  They may not be your cup of tea, but accept the are players of quality.

The idea that 4 ohm speakers cannot fill a big room is absurd.  Yes, they are less efficient, but that is easily mitigated with the right amp choice.

You statement concerning planar speakers is like me saying box speakers suck and adding some drivel attempting to support that position.

It is that type of rhetoric that gets people’s back up and want to take you on.
