Looking to buy floor standing speakers in $1000 per speaker range.

I wonder if the OP is tired of us yet?

Thank you all for your advice and counsel. I am continuing my listening as I can and making some calls. I like that I can test drive the Ohms and the Zu's in my house with my stuff. Probably start there. 

there are dozens of good choices, enjoy the search

I started with the micro talls, and up graded to the 1000's.  It cost me about $90.00 to ship the micros back.  I really didn't care because I was so impressed by the ohms performance. I hope you like them. Happy hunting!!
