Suggestions? Planar like Dynamic speaker under 2K

VMPS 626R's with megawoofers, soundcoat, fst tweeter, and auricaps (mids and tweeters are ribbon drivers). Combine it with VMPS sub that is adjustable to your room (the larger or 215 w/ woofer upgrade). The combination is dynamic, see through clear, detailed, great soundstage, and just plain beautiful to listen to. Make most speakers sound as though they're playing with a pillow in front of the drivers. All of it new through a dealer would be about $3000.00 but you can find them on Agon on occasion--they don't last long on the listings however.

Magnepan 1.7's

My understanding is that the mid driver on VMPS was originally designed by Bruce at Eminent technology though I may be wrong. So I wonder if the mids are that much more dynamic they have much smaller surface area than ETs
Haven't heard Maggies in a while but wouldn't that put me in the same direction. I thought planars in general were not that dynamic macro wise.
Looking for a dynamic speaker that gives me great soundstaging , good detail, and imaging and full range. Floor standing without a subwoofer. I want dynamic punch that I hear from dynamic speakers. Thanks for the help.

I'd suggest you look at Vandersteens. A new a pair of 2Ci would be a little over budget, but used, you should be able to find a pair, maybe with room for a matching sub ...if you still need more punch.
