Check out the line of hybrid ribbon speakers by Newform Research. Not necessarily pretty but in reality better looking than the website photos indicate. I bought the R645's for $2250 delivered to my door. It's one of those companies where you can talk to the owner/designer on the phone. I love the speakers but then I'm one of those people who likes ribbon drivers over cones for mids and hi's. I'm also reading a lot of good things about VMPS.
Best speakers in 2k-3k price point
Looking for speakers in this price range that would match up with Rogue Audio 99 preamp and 120 monoblocks. I like all kinds of music. I tend to shy away from certain metal dome tweets. I don't like a soundstage that is in your face. I like the music to sound good at low levels to moderately high. Monitors or fullrange would be considered. I use a Sony SCD-777es for my source. Thanks to all of you for your help. Ginny.
