You should audition the Legacy Audio Focus 20/20 loudspeakers if they are in your budget. They retail for $6400.

With your choice of music I would go with non-speaker speakers------Maggies or MartinLogan Odysseys. Are they speakers or are the musicians in the room----I can't tell!!!!!!!!! Don't get a "BOX"!! It sounds like a BOX!!!!

I own the silverline's, a very detailed speaker. They would work well with your music taste, I use them with all solid state equipment. Their primary use is for home theater and DVD audio. Hope this helps.

You might want to check into some Dunlavys or Vandersteens. Both are time and phase coherent and represent true bargains in high-end audio.

The Dunlavys certainly don't sound like boxes. To a perhaps slightly lesser degree, neither do the Vandersteens. Both will easily surpass anything offered by Magnepan, which impress people mainly by offering a big vertical image. They and Martin Logans aren't even in the same ballpark if you're looking for accuracy. But not all people care about that.
