which floor speaker up to 1500.00

If it has to be floorstanders I'd agree strongly with the Silverline Prelude recommendation given your stated priorities. I've only heard them at shows, but they really wowed me along with lots of others in the crowd with their remarkable imaging and transparent 3D soundstage. Hard to see you going wrong there assuming they mate well with your equipment and room. I liked the PSB and Aperion recommendations as well, and I'd throw Epos in there too based on what I've read but haven't heard any of them them first hand. Best of luck.

Lots of good recommendations

Vapor1,

Your last post does put your other comments in much better context. In all fairness, I don't think anyone could put all that together without you telling us. That's why when I first read it I thought it was a bunch of BS from someone who gets their listening experience from reading magazine reviews.

That said, I still stand by my recommendation of the Model 1's. To be clear, I'm basing my comments only on my own listening experience, but nothing else. I've compared them to several other speakers around the same price and always preferred them. That doesn't mean everyone will like them, but definitely worth a listen.
