Best sub 4000 dollar standmount.

I'm in the market for a standmount with a big sound that can work in a samller room yet have a big enough sound for a larger one too. I have amps with plenty of power. A musical Fidelity KW550 and a Krell Kav 400xi also.

I'm particularly interested in The Usher 718be and how it compares specifically to the Sonus Faber Auditor M, Dynaudio Contour S1.4 and possibly the Proac D2.

Any opinions greatly appreciated.

SP Technology Timepiece Minis. Check out the SP Technology circle over at Audiocircle, I have them and can't say enough good things about them, and neither can the owners of them or their bigger brother, the Timepiece 3.0's. Either of these would be exactly what you're looking for.

hi , without question the revel gems, you can find them used for under 4,000 these days, I have a good friend that has them and they are still an amazing speaker !!! better than most speakers I have heard regardless of cost, good luck, chrissain

Those revel Gem 2's are very interesting. I've never seen or heard any in the flesh.

I also like the look of the Focal Utopia Diablo's but once again when I found the price I alomost keeled over. Gruesome!

SP. Never heard of those before. Very nice. Must be predominantly US only.

I'm also considering Thiel CS 2.4's but am a little worried about future space situations.

For now my only choices are the Dyn's, the Ushers, Auditor M's and The Krell Standmounts.
