    Wink Topspeed gave you the best answer......

    I have years visiting this forum almost all days. Nobody will tell you which is the best speaker around $2000. You will get 200 different answers and might be any of them is right for you. Go and listen, we can suggest you, but you have to choose acoording what you like. By the way, I have heard Magnepan many times at my dealer show room and I don't like them for me. Don't allow anybody to push any brand to you.
    Good Luck,
    Jorge

    Try some Martin-Logans, great sound and, IMHO, much better looking than the Maggies.

    I suggest that you include Amphion on your audition list.

    Well i sold the MG 3.6R and i am gonna order this one next. I guess i never stop learning. But the 3.6R will kill most box speakers below 10K in quite a bit of areas. But they need a large room.

    PS: I am gonna make a new username too, since i cant get that changed.

    I'm a big fan of Boston Acoustics, so I say give their VR-M series a shot.

    My choices

    For around $1400 you can get a set of Vandersteen 2Ce's. If you can i would audition them. I recently upgraded to ESL's Martin Logan's..

    Both of these speaker choices set up well with my system, but it is all in your own ear.

    Audition...audition. audition.
    ARC VT100 MKIII , ARC LS-15 , Anthem PRE1P Phono Stage
    Acoustics Signature TT , Adcom GCD-750 CD
    Tascam 130 Cassette Deck ,Transparent Audio Plus Speaker Cable , Transparent Audio Plus Balanced interconnects
    Martin Logan Ascents , HG 10 SX Velodyne Sub
    Pioneer TX-9100 Tuner
