It's almost as if the Wilsons push the image towards you, whereas my Thiels tended to create a solid image at speaker position and behind - more of an audience position.I hear ya. I'm in the same boat sonic wise. Have you heard the Vandys yet? If not I highly recommend Audio Connection out in Verona NJ. They also happen to carry ProAc, which are also awesome and very worth a listen. I'd also HIGHLY encourage you to find a Joseph Audio dealer and listen to the Profiles, Pulsars, and Perspectives. I don't believe they're technically time or phase coherent, but they have a unique crossover design that produces magical 3D imaging and an incredible disappearing act. They're made out on Long Island so they gotta have a dealer somewhere near NYC. As a dark horse, I'd also go hear Boenicke speakers. Look them up -- they sound very intriguing if imaging and soundstaging are high on your list of priorities. And I believe they have a dealer in Manhattan.
Just some other options if you dare. Anyway, hope this helps and have fun exploring!
