recommendation for best $1500 speakers?


I'm looking for recommendations for a pair of floorstanding speakers < $1,500 for both. They would be used for both home theater and analog/digital music. I have more entry level boston acoustic floor standing speakers now, which I like, but I think can be improved. Part of the challenge is the room is 16 feet tall, so they sound a bit thin. I'm using a Yamaha RXV-2500 receiver at 140wpc, which should be plenty of power. I heard some JBL's at a local tweeter store through the same amp, and they sounded much fuller than the BA's I have now (they were twice the size). Any thoughts are appreciated. thanks!

The absolute best $1500 speaker is a used $4000 speaker if you can find such a deal. I'm running Joseph Audio rm22si's that retail for $2600 - bought here for under $1000.

I was looking at Revel F12's and Triangle before I found a super deal on the Joseph's. All would probably be great choices for you.
