Looking for a good full range floor stander

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. 

Whoops, I also completely misinterpreted the point....my bad.

I hate to get off on a tangent to this thread, but I'm curios as what you don't like about your GE TRs for 2channel listening, how you have them placed in your room, and where is your 2CHL listening spot in the room?  Is it just the audiophile quest for more?
I have GE T1s in a HT/2chl system and was wondering about upgrading to TRs when I could get a larger room like yours.

Good question.  I am happy with the golden ears but have to give too much information for you all to understand.  I am 61 and my wife is 63.  We are blessed (and cursed) with two adult children and two grand children living  with us.  The home theater has the two main a GE center xxl, a GE supersub xxl, and four Ge main 3's for surrounds.  Mains powered by a parasound a21 and surrounds powered by a sunfire cinema grand.  Anthem AVM 60 preamp.  It does the job well and if it was just me I would be content.  However cartoons and dr pimple popper seem to crowd out my and my wife's use. When I play music the cries and caterwauling ruin my bliss and defeat the purpose.   Hence the need for an oasis for us to enjoy life.  Wow TMI for sure.  
Now, purely selfish on my part but if this is to be my last sound system I want it to to be something I can grow old with.   I am happy with the golden ears but did not know if I could do better.  I choose bryston as my electronics  because they also have a professional background, great warranty, and several a list or editors choice ratings from respected trades.  I listen to jazz , blues, classic vinyl, some classical etc.   Also good salesman.  
Now I'm interested in everything out there but was interested in the proac because many of the British producers and engineers master with them or so I'm told.  So much of my music is British, cream, floyd,  Clapton and female vocalist which are very midrange friendly.  However I am listening to everybody's suggestions.  I am from a small town with no shops which is why I look to you, my fellow hobbyist for opinions and info.  I will audition as much as i can but i appreciate all your input.
