Have you considered Soliloquy? I have the 6.3 floorstanders. They have exceeded all of my expectations. They are around $3200 new, but can be found used/demo in the $1500-$2000 range. Also, their flagship 6.5 speakers, which new are around $6500, are in the $3-4K range used/demo. I cannot comment on the sound of my 6.3s with large scale orchestral music, but from jazz to blues to rock, electric and/or acoustic they are very strong contenders.
Narrowing down floorstander selection.
I'm narrowing down my speaker choices and would be interested to hear any thoughts about these four speakers:
Von Schweikert VR2
Vienna Acoustics Beethoven
Dyanaudio Aucience S82
Vandersteen 3aSig
If anyone has suggestions for other speakers in the 2-4K range, I'd be curious to hear them also. I am ruling out planars and horns, either for reasons of demo availablility or taste. Also, I intend to avoid the addition of subwoofer(s) to augment my setup, at least for the time being.
I intend to purchase electronics after deciding on the speakers.
My room is very large with high ceilings, and placement is
flexible.
I listen to the usual eclectic range 'o stuff, but with a heavy emphasis on large scale orchestral classical.
Thanks for your help.
