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

The Vandersteen 2CE's and 3A's are well described by Garfish and Sdcampbell. I echo their comments. Well worth listening to if you have found you don't care for the Thiel sound over time. The Vandersteen's have a sound quality of their own, but they are incredibly listenable over the long haul. In the price range you list, these would be well worth considering.
