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.

Sforth you completely misinterpreted the point.

It is not a sales issue it should be noted as a concern with any small company that is run by a single designer that was the point, had nothing to do with the designer of Green Mountain audio.

There was no joke made about Merlin either, the fact that anyone with access to a good cabinet shop can build copies of these loudseakers, buying drivers is not the same thing as designing both the driverj and the entire loudspeaker from scratch.

For this reason the worlds top loudspeaker companies show a commitment to the capital expenditures to push driver technology which is the reason why Magico, Rockport, Focal, Kef, B&W, Paradigm, ATC, Harbeth ect are the companies which dominate an industry.

That is not to say any of the small independents dont make a good sounding product.

Again points of discussion.

Mofojo coating a cone is not the same thing as building a complete driver nor tweeking a design no matter how many years it took. 

We had a client trade in a set of Vsm for a set of Vivids there was no comparison we dont mean to disrespect his memory but the facts are the facts.
Uhh no. Anyone couldn't build a Merlin. He had special coatings on the driver's and worked on the crossovers for 20 years to perfect. What you are saying is kinda disrespectful.
