Which Speaker in the 4-6K Range?


I am interested in buying a pair of full range floor standing speakers that have the following attributes:(1)Sensitivity of 90db or greater. (2)Bass extension down to at least 25-30hz. (3) Solid built quality. (4) Ability to simply diappear and (5) cost about 4-6k. I am considering the Silverline audio Sonata and Coincident Technologies. I prefer the Hales Design Group Trancendence 8 but it costs 10k unfortunately. Please help.

During the last year, I have owned both Coincident Super Eclipses (listed at $5500 although Israel Blume will sell them to you directly for $4500 post paid) and the new Silverline Sonatas (at $6000 a pair). I think that they are both great speakers, but I kept the Sonatas. The latter had a more refined quality, better soundstaging, and a more controllable bass. However, I don't think that you could go wrong with either.
I should have mentioned that when comparing the Super Eclipses (which come without a grill), you should remove the grills from the Sonatas. They sound much better that way!
