Full range box floorstanding recommend $3-5K range

after 3 years w/stats (ML, SL-3) I am ready for something a little fuller (more bass) and dynamic but yet detailed & great soundstage. i am looking to spend 3-5K new or used. i am looking for some ideas (meadowlark, coincident, joseph, talon, legacy, thiel, i'm sure there are some other great ideas out there, etc.) to start with. i am running a Pass X250 amp, pass x2 pre & Cary 303 CDP, all Cardas Golden Cross interconnects, Cardas Neutral Ref spr cables.

Every time I go to a live orchestra concert, I look DOWN at the stage from the main floor--even more so if I get a balcony seat (where some of the best sound can be had at one the venues I attend). If one sits at row Q or farther back on the main floor, the stage width fits between ones out-stretched arms with the hands about 2.5 feet apart.

Realistic proportions matter more than height and width by themselves. Taller is not necessarily more realistic.

As an Audio Consultant, I would have to lean toward the VMPS. With your backround and AMP, the VMPS would be a natural progression "upward".

At $4600 the RM40 is a tough speaker to match. I cant think of anything it doesn't do well in musical reproduction.

I am a dealer for many brands KEF, PMC, SLS, Wraith, Krell, etc., but I have these in "my" system.

regards,

John

I moved to Dunlavy SC IV-A from SL3's several months ago and I have been very satisfied. The SCIV-A's, IMHO are at par with the Prodigy's albeit at lower prices. The only problem is that the DAL is no longer in business but if you find a good deal, it is worth a try. Let me warn you though--the SCIV-A's are tall and heavy.
