Floor standing speakers under $1500.00

I have a 28 x 22 foot room with vaulted ceiling going from 8' to 20'. I listen to mainly classic rock, rock, jazz and blues. I am presently using a 2 channel 100 wpc Yamaha tuner but will eventually upgrade. I listen to vinyl, cd and internet radio. any suggestions on floor standing speakers. I am looking for a clean, honest sound image. I want the music to speak for itself.

Ecruz, I am also considering tekton lore/ lore-s. If you could forward your response to ketchup, I would be interested in your perspective.

I recommend a pr. of bookshelves plus a pr. of subs. Reason being is you have a much better chance of getting the 60/80hz frequencies and up suited to your taste. The pr. of subs can be optimized for blend with the bookshelves and 2 subs placed properly can level out bass peaks and dips somewhat.

The subs don't have to be a hugh investment unless you want to. Two small subs will usually out perform a single large sub because a single sub will most likely give you more pronounced peaks and dips in the low end. REL's T series subs are very good for the price and they look pretty darn good too.

With the floorstanders there is a great possibility you will have to make compromises that you may not like.
