Best Speakers for Carey sixpacs



I am looking for a new speaker to replace my Gallo Ref3's

I have a CJ PV15 into a pair of sixpacs my budget is $2500-$3000 (more on the $2500 side) USED!

Something with a built in sub would be nice, bi wired is OK I still have my Adcom 555 to drive a sub I listen to HT but my main addiction is analog mostly Rock to Punk to Classical a nice mix.

I found the Gallos to be harsh and not detailed enough (I have the ones without the switch)I just dont like there sound. I am at a loss
I cannot afford the trial and error approach

Any suggestions?

Wanna trade?

Go with Vandersteen 2ce Sigs. Depending on how you set them up (and what your room has to offer) you may not need a sub.
The Merlins were on my list I went to the site and they seem unique with there approach.
Does anyone own the newer VSM MM what exactly is a super bam?

From all the reviews from owners I found only one was totally negative one unfortunately his write up is exactly how I feel about the speaker I now own.
Everyone and there mother says my speakers are phenomenal but they just do not do it for me.

To make a mistake on buying without hearing will again be my own fault.
However, as cannot audition these I will leave it up to you lot and not stereophile magazine to offer constructive criticism.

I would like some feedback on these; will I need a sub for HT?
Am I paying for the "Hand MadeĀ” aspect rather than the sound quality of the speaker?
Any comments will be appreciated
If you live in the NY?NJ tri state area you can come over and listen to my Merlin VSM speakers w/superbam with the Sixpacs (with and without the sub). For HT with subterranean bass I believe that you will want a sub -- I have a REL 150A wich integrates very nicely. For 2 channel listening the bass on the Merlins is enough, but again that's up to you.
Great speaker and tremendous service. You should give Bobby a call.
Yes Bobby is great I spent about an hour on the phone with him he is very down to earth.
I am sold on the Merlins based on my conversation with him
Now I gotta try to sell the kids to pay for them.
