I'm looking for suggestions of floor standing speakers that will better the performance of my thiel 1.5s with a similar size ( about 32-34" tall) pricing of $1.5k used to $3k new.

Names I've run across but haven't heard yet include the Audes Blues & Souls, Silverline speakers, Soliloquy 5.3. I'm enjoying some Taylo Reference Monitors in my den, which image and and sound great, but have limited base and aren't the most beautiful looking speakers.

Suggestions?

thanks,

Charlie
