Suggestions? Planar like Dynamic speaker under 2K


Any dynamic speakers I should consider used under 2K that give me planar attributes without its limitations?
Currently own Eminent Technology 8A Planar/Hybrid speakers Probably the best I have owned in terms of detail, purity neutrality and sound stage. These don't have the dynamic punch on the mids and the woofers can't handle heavy HT movies. Had Von Schweikert Vr-4jr didn't integrate into my room and Newform research - Same deal.

VMPS 626R's with megawoofers, soundcoat, fst tweeter, and auricaps (mids and tweeters are ribbon drivers). Combine it with VMPS sub that is adjustable to your room (the larger or 215 w/ woofer upgrade). The combination is dynamic, see through clear, detailed, great soundstage, and just plain beautiful to listen to. Make most speakers sound as though they're playing with a pillow in front of the drivers. All of it new through a dealer would be about $3000.00 but you can find them on Agon on occasion--they don't last long on the listings however.
I had the Emerald Physics CS-2s and could never get the high end to sound remotely alive--clean but no live factor at all--and that was with the upgraded crossover. The listed efficiency is only for the speakers--with the crossover connected, the efficiency is less than 89 db. And you must have the crossover to work the speakers. Not very honest advertising in my book. The VMPS 626Rs with the upgrades I mentioned were bought at the same time I had the EP-2s. The midrange drivers are reworked by Brian Cheney and apparently when put in a box, are very lively and dynamic. With the 40 ou. megawoofers, they are the best speakers I've heard in my house or the showroom, especially good with a VMPS sub--more bloom in the mids along with much deeper bass and even more dynamic capability. A friend with his son who is inches away from becoming a professional bass player (he's won several area contests and plays many genres of music) had the time of their lives listening to the VMPS combo and came back another day with an offer to buy it all. The combo is truly what you're looking for. You're wish list sounded just like mine. The clarity and dynamics of the entire speaker will just amaze you and won't change. Your upgrade itis will be gone at least on the speaker end.
