What should I be auditioning?

I'm now looking for a speaker under $2,000 (floor standing or monitor) that will be used 75% for music and 25% for home theater. Ideally looking for a speaker that will have a wide soundstage and is not fatiguing. My musical tastes are pop, alternative, r&b, little hip hop. I don't listen to classical or jazz (yet).

What should be on my short list of speakers to audition?? Would appreciate suggestions.

If I were auditioning speakers right now, I would certainly give the new Ultras by SVS a listen. Free in home trial for 45 days and free shipping both ways. Really don't have anything to lose.

And, if you don't have a sub yet, pick one up while you are at it.

Aside from being a satisfied customer, I have no affiliation with the company.

My listening is very much like your and I would buy any used pair Revel Performa speakers any day.

Good luck

Depening on your room size and amplifier I would checkout the Kef r500 if you have a dealer in the area. You can read a review at soundstagehifi.com. definitely an over achieving speaker with the qualities you are after. Best luck
