Martin Logan Don t Rock


I own a pair of Martin Logan SL3 speakers. For vocals they are amazing. For Jazz they are impressive, but for rock they stink. I have decided to look for new speakers which have the clarity and imaging of the Martin Logans, but can play a better variety of music. I am looking to spend $3,000 - $6,000 for a used pair of speakers. My room is fairly large (15'Wide x 30'Deep). I suspect the speakers will have to be fairly large to completely fill the room with sound.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the input.

I was planning on auditioning the Ariel 10t's. A buddy has a pair that he plans on bringing over next weekend.

For those who inquired about amplification, here is a list of my components:

EAD PowerMaster 2000 (400 watts/channel)
Audio Research LS-15 for 2 channel
Integra Research RDC-7 for Home Theater
EAD TheaterVision P (CD & DVD)
Synergistic Research Looking Glass II Interconnects
Pure Silver Connection PRISTINE R50 bi-wired Speaker Cables

I suspect that part of my problem is that my listening room (the family room) opens up to the kitchen, which actually makes the room 15'Wide x 60'Deep. Perhaps, with no opposing wall the speakers have no way to bounce the sound off the walls to fill the room.

Again, thanks for the comments. Any other thoughts please let me know.
