Speaker help under $2,500

Coming in at a buck under your upper limit is the Eminent Technology LFT-8b. Similar to the Maggie 1.7 and .7 in being a magnetic-planar dipole, but with a push-pull design and structure (magnets on both sides of the Mylar diaphragm, resulting in greater linearity and less distortion), and an 8" cone woofer for frequencies 180Hz and lower. It also presents a more tube-friendly 8ohm load to your power amp than does the current hungry 4ohm Maggies.

Johnnyb53,
Love the music you listen to. Awesom on Maggie's. Best, Rob

Thank you so much for everyone in put.  

Best Regards,
Eddy

Eminent freakishly good mid and large detailed soundstage...bass not the best integrated but very good for $
used pair of Steen 3 a sig or new 2 sigs...need 100 watts  but well integrated....
Quad ESL 63 on great stands may also suprise you.
Maggies always a fave.
have fun

I would suggest an in-home audition of Ohm Walsh 1000s.  If your room is not too large for them, they might be a good choice.
