Best overall Speakers for $2,500.00 or less, New?


Hi, I am looking to purchase some great loudspeakers for $2,500.00 OR LESS brand new.I am NOT interested in mini-monitors.I want floor-standing, almost full-range speakers.
I want great bass, neutrality top-to-bottom, transparency, great imaging and soundstaging, openness, detail, and an extended and airy top-end.
Some of my friends recommended Paradigm 100 v.3's, Triangle Celius, etc.
In your personal experience and opinion, what full-range loudspeakers in this price range are the overall best in most sonic perimeters?

Audio Physic Virgo is a good candidate in this price range and your criteria...
Source Technologies 8.2 DX, full-range, excellent fit n' finish, glorious sound, so new in the company's product lineup the picture and specs are not yet available on the website. Contact John at www.sourcetechspeakers.com for info,
or Loufink@bellsouth.net
I purchased these in place of the Von Schweikert Vr2's and I can't begin to tell you how happy I am. American made in Conn on top of it all!
