Alternative to Avantgarde Uno?

Is there anyone out there in A'gon land who has owned a pair of Unos that eventually found something that they preferred? I love the Avantgarde's effortless, dynamic sound but I cant afford a brand new pair and most that come up for sale used are either out of my price range ($6k), they dont have the original shipping crates, (which run about $1,000) or want to sell them locally because I guess they are just a huge pain to pack and ship. My source is a Meridian 508.24. Amplification is a Jeff Rowland Concentra. My listening room is 21'x11', so it would have to be a full range speaker. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Look into the Lamhorns. They are a single driver of about 100db sensitivity and can use either a lowther or AER driver. They retail for about $6k...they are very good.

There is actually some small similarity in sound between SOLOs and UNOs but Lowthers don't even come close to any of the Avantgarde.
