Equvalent Replacement for a/d/s M12 monitor speake

My 15 year old beloved a/d/s/monitor M12 speakers are shot. I have not been
in the sterophile loop for some time and I also move between the US and the
UK marketplace so I don't know where to start in looking for a replacement.

In my local store I have tested the Klipsch R7 and like it a lot and its
efficiency (which is important to me as I have a big room) but its physical
size I find too big. I also liked the omni-directional Mirages. In the UK
the Monitor Silver series is well respected but I have not listened to them.

Need an efficient easy to drive flat uncolored wide response speaker that
can function without a sub-woofer or powered bass in the US$2500/pair price
range. Suggestions please?

Actually anything from Aerial is far more similar. Mike Kelly runs Aerial, and he was the one who worked the magic at a/d/s for many years. I'd recommend Aerial 6's or 7B (not original 7s). I have 5's and 6's - great speakers. Better than anything a/d/s/ made in the M-series. (I had L1290s and M15s, plus CM7s and L300s). www.aerialacoustics.com
