One thing you must consider if you decided to go with Emerald Physics CS2 is, they need to be bi-amp.

They are a French speaker maker and are highly regarded. They are very efficient,about 92db, and they are not horn loaded. Work best with tube equipment. I own the Triangle Celius ESW and am very happy with them. They were also rated very highly in Stereophile by Sam Tellig.
