Help chossing a good speaker. $ 3-5 K

Thanks for all the input. I'm leaning towards the Harbeth's or the ATC SCM 40. The later is a three-way, sealed enclosure that doesn't go down too low. Doe any body here has any experience with 3-way small floor standers in small rooms? I think that the fact that is not ported may help?

Thanks again. I have narrowed my choice to harbeth vs ATC. Dodgealum showed little entusiasm for the ATC. I undertsand that they maight be a little too big. The only reason I though they might work is that it is a sealed enclosure. The mid range has great reviews. Could you elaborate a little more? With regards to the dealers in Dallas, I have visited some of theme. I heard the Viennas and at my price range I did not think it offered a signifincat improvement over the JM Focal Cobalts 826 that I just sold. Have not heard the proacs. May try to do that today. The Wilson Benesch at AUdio Concept are great but above my spending limit.

Thanks Shadorne. Do you think I will need to crank the ATC's volume up to more than an average of 75-80 db to get them to sound good? That would definetly be a problem for me. That is my average listening level and I do want to get good/decent orchestral/symphonic sound that is not congested and grainy.

Thanks again for all the good advise. Shadone I agree, I think the room has a lot to do with the "congestion". I think I may go Harbeth at the end. I wish I could listen to these speakers but even if I could, it would be at the dealer's room where they may sound better or worse. Elctronics, room dimensions, room treatments, etc will be different. I'm not sure how valuable it would be. Ideally one would be ablt to test them in ones room and decide but not very many dealers will agree to that. On the other hand I want to buy used and it would not be fair to them.
