Floorstanders 3K

I have been out of the audiophile loop for awhile and after a decade or so I have been bitten by the upgrade bug and am looking to replace my Vandy 2CE signatures. I would like something a little more "livelier" and better suited for listening to classic and modern rock. I would prefer not to have to use a sub if possible. Sources are evenly split between digital and analog, running Rogue M-120 monoblocks for amplification and Rogue 66 magnum preamp. Room is roughly 16 X 16 but also opens up to a kitchen/dining area (open concept). Need some direction on where I should start looking.

Used ProAc Studio 140's might be appealing.

I agree. You could also look for a used pair of Proac Response 2.5. No subwoofer necessary with these.

You would probably really like some of the Klipsch Heritage series speakers like the Cornwall or even K-Horn ... your amps would have WAY more power than you need though. Even the Forte is an awesome speaker for classic rock. On the used market only the K-Horn would be anywhere near $3k.

Back in the late 80's we sold Klipsch, and they were the go-to's for 'rockers'. Not my preference, but they certainly appealed to many, and the horns and high efficiency could be exactly what will flip your switch.

And Duke didn't mention them, but his Audiokinesis speakers would be another good choice.

I would look at the Dunlavy's that are for sale as well as the Merlin's.
