Magnepan 3.6R (about $3k, needs a TON of power, min 400W/ch at 4 ohm), Magnepan 1.6QR ($1k, a lot of power, and a Vandersteen sub for about $800, makes it a great system), Gershman Avant Garde, Gallo Ref3, Vandersteen 3A Sig, or 2CE Sig, Paradigm 100 V3. If you have the room, I know they are not new, or fashionable, but the Klispch Klipshhorn has such a great distinctive sound.

Alot of good recommendations, I'll add VMPS RM 40's, an outstanding speaker for the money. You really need to listen to these as they all sound different. Some people love planars and some people can't live with them and must have cones. The only way to tell what you'll like is to listen to it and hope it sounds good in your room.

I'm waiting for my Hyperion HPS-938. Having audition the Usher 6831, AG Ref 3 and VS VR4Jr, I found the Hyperion sounded most "balanced" among the whole lot with the ability to play all types of music with a certain unforced naturalness that is somewhat magical.

Von Schweikert VR4jr($4,000 New). You should check them out. They sound awsome with the Quicksilver M80 monoblocks(Plenty of power). I would love to hear them with the V4 monoblocks and hopefully will!
