Help I need some speaker suggestions

Hi, I'd like to get help from you audiophiles out there. I'm looking for a pair of speakers that are "up front",dynamic and don't get obnoxious over time. I bought a pair of $3000.00 Theils a few years ago and was not happy with them. I kept turing up the volume to try and get a sense of being right there but they only got louder-no sense of presence. My old speakers are Cerwin Vega D-9's (4-way w/15 in. woofers) I like the overall sound but they get a little noisy and tiring over time. I guess I'm looking for the same kind of effect but more refined. I've heard that possibly Klipsch might fit the bill but I worry about the same fatigue factor. What else is out there in this genre? Budget about $1500.00

I agree completely with Lev335! Go for used B&W802 series III.
I usually tell perspective speaker buyers this:
80% of all classical music is mastered on B&W speakers. So if you are considering several speakers and one of them is a B&W, go for the B&W. This is because, unless you own a Cello Pallatte (new it was $25,000), your sound will probably more often sound like it was heard when recorded.
