Floorstanding towers

I'm currently in the market for some new towers and have a few I'm looking at but am open to suggestions. I have my ways on the monitor audio bronze or silver series and the Martin Logan motion 40. I have also heard and like paradigm monitor series speakers. They will be paired with a parasound halo integrated and vinyl as well as streamed music will be the main source of sound. im open to ideas on other speakers in the 2-3k range for the pair.

How large is your room, and do you have any rigid placement requirements (like they can't be away from a wall)?  That will have a big impact on the type of speaker you should get, and may allow members to give you more informed suggestions.  Also, what type of music do you listen to?

Well, since you don't tell us the size of your room, I'll say that if you have a huge listening space there is a pair of Dunlavy SC-Vs for sale on this site in your price range that are among the world's finest, though their cosmetic condition is poor, as well as a nice pair of Dunlavy SC-IVs for below your budget.  Replacement drivers might be hard to get down the road, though, as Dunlavy is out of business due to the founder's death. As good as the other speakers mentioned in this thread are, I would take these speakers, had I enough room, they are classics.

 If your room is 10 feet by 10 feet, though, I'd suggest ditching the idea of towers and looking into a pair of stand-mounted monitors.  The room limitations would be too difficult to overcome with a full range tower speaker.  Hence my question about your room size (as well as your musical tastes).  While all of the speakers mentioned in this thread might be terrific in a system, they might not be a good match for a small room or the type of music you listen to.
