Well here it is. I sold my Tekton Double Impacts and my Lyngdorf 2170 a while back. I thought it sounded very good! I was getting out of audio and wasn't listening much anymore. Well..... now winter is here, I'm bored and have the itch to get something descent again. 
I like rock/metal/bluegrass/ acoustic/ some country. I need impact and good midbass and low fatigue. I have a Crown DCI 4/300 and a upgraded Jolida Fusion preamp at the moment. Plenty of power for almost anything. 

My biggest pet peeve is cabinets that start talking at high levels or when the sound hardens at high levels. 

Willing to drive up to 300miles 1 way for the right deal and I am in West Mi. A little older does not bother me at all. I've just started looking and a few I've been eying are:
Aerial LR5 or Model 9
Dali MS4
LSA 20 statements (new)
KEF 205/2
Dynaudio Focus 360

Any others anyone feels I should keep an eye out for in this price range? 

Thanks

I have no problem with used so it would need to be a really great deal new for me to consider.

Have you considered open baffle? I went from cabinets to Spatials and couldn't be happier. I don't know if I'd ever go back.

I have looked at open baffle a little. Not having punchy bass concerns me. I could be off base with that.

Probably Moabs would be the choice if I go that route, although I worry about the loss of midbass impact since they don’t have those drivers.

Dream on buddy the mid bass is fantastic. Even teajay who owns Ulfberhts and reviewed Moabs told me they are so close you practically have to use organ music and be listening for it to tell. So get Moabs and hope nobody ever drops by with Ulfs and Tocatta and Fugue to compare.

I just heard a pair. Not the worst speakers I've ever heard but darn close not to mention the construction quality. You can make anything look good if you throw enough lacquer on it. Watch what happens after a few heating seasons.
