Speakers that sound like Usher Be-20s/10s

I am looking for speakers. I am a fan of the Usher sound - superb 3d soundstage, excellent leading edge dynamics, great attack and transients that make one jump out of the chair. I am considering the BE20s/10s in the used market but given their huge size and room requirements and low availability in the used market I am in two minds. Can anyone recommend a speaker that sounds similar? Especially previous Usher owners? I was considering Revel Salon 2s but got the impression that they are a little un-exciting and don't have a good attack (I may be mistaken)
My amp - Rotel 1090
Thanks!

I always thought meridian dsp 8000's were the ultimate. A pair of dsp 8000.2 came up about 4 hours away I made an offer on and after some negotiating I bought them. I still try out speakers if I think I can resell them for the price i'm paying for them. That said I've tried the Vienna acoustic strauss, persona 7f and currently kef blade since selling the be20's and buying the M's. The persona's might have the best bass i've ever heard from a pair of passive speakers, but they really need special care to sound natural. Ther Blades are similar to Usher in tone, but the midbass is more prominent and the soundstage is on another level. I can't afford to keep both the blades and big meridians once I retire,  My hegel h360 was the source for all the speakers.

Soix, you see I don't sell a pair because I don't like them so much as I want to hear as many as I can.
