Speakers to replace Martin logan Prodigys


I had to sell my Prodigy's because I had no room to set them up they the way the needed to be.
I am looking for something in the 5000.00 to 7000.00 range that are room friendly for a small to medium room.

I am in a small room and thus listen at lower volumes in the nearfield . I have found quite good success with Reference 3 a Di Capo i's , a standmount speaker . I am assuming that you will retain your tube amps , as these speakers really like tubes . Depending on the size of your room , you would be able to move up the line as per your budget constraints .

Now , given that , I have been on a search for a speaker that would give me the stat/panel sound in a small room . The closest that I have found is the new Beryllium tweeter technology .
I have heard the JM Lab version in the Micro Utopia Be which is a standmount . They also offer other versions including the Diva Utopia Be which is a floor stander designed for small rooms . The Micro is in your budget but I am not sure about the Diva . I am talking about new prices as these don't come up used too often .

A less expensive alternative is the new Be Ushers in the Dancer series . They are also using the Beryllium technology in their tweeters and I have heard that they are now offering a speaker with a midrange Beryllium driver as well . Caveat , I have not heard these yet as they are pretty new . The Usher Dancer line comes in at about half price as compared to the JM Labs Utopia .

Good luck and please keep me posted on what you find .
I am not familiar with Wolcotts but if you will be listening at low volumes , that ability will be a factor of your 'amp' as well as your speakers . If it sounds better when you turn it up , for dynamics and resolution , it may not be the amp for low level listening . Just a thought .
