I need some advice on speakers..

I'm a little worried that the Gershman Avant Garde RX 20's haven't had an update in technology for some time it seems.

Is there any information on the drivers and X-overs used.

I STRONGLY recommend the AV Reality Studios. Absolute top of the line drivers with the Scan Speak 7" revelator woofer (If I remeber correctly this woofer has the fastest impulse response of any woofer made in the world).

The Studios have same exact drivers as the Krell $9500 monitors, but with even better crossovers and a unique diffraction baffle. The best part is that this speaker is priced at $2000 new! I have nothing but accolades for this remarkable speaker company.

There was a treble switch put in recently to help tame room conditions and the speaker binding posts were upgraded. I am not sure in the driver category. Talk to Steve at SoundVideo.com - they are his personal choice in his own system. Joe at JC Audio thinks they sound better than the Karma. Of all the recommendations in this group who actually owns the speaker they are talking about - I do! The Super Eclipse is a bit on the bright side but tubes should warm them up. A friend of mine would probably sell you his pair.

the coincidents are great if you're an SET fan, otherwise i'd steer clear.

b/w the VR5s and the VSM-ms, i've heard both...and thought the VSMs were much better. your room is ideally sized...but i wonder about the liberties you'll have to place them. if you're limited w/ what you can do in placement, you may just want to save your $$ and get something mid-fi.

the speakers you're talking about are great speakers if you'll give them what they need...bad placement isn't what they need. if you can't place them properly, why not some standmount ACIs Jags or Sapphire 3s w/ a very small footprint?
