Suggestions? Planar like Dynamic speaker under 2K

Any dynamic speakers I should consider used under 2K that give me planar attributes without its limitations?
Currently own Eminent Technology 8A Planar/Hybrid speakers Probably the best I have owned in terms of detail, purity neutrality and sound stage. These don't have the dynamic punch on the mids and the woofers can't handle heavy HT movies. Had Von Schweikert Vr-4jr didn't integrate into my room and Newform research - Same deal.

Energy? Come on lol
They have about as much in common with Planar sound as a cd compared to vinyl.

The Zu Audio Omen might fill the bill for you. No crossover, so they are incredibly fast, revealing and involving...with fantastic timing and coherence. Full-range speakers that need barely any power to shine, love tubes, and if you can find some used Zu Omen Defs...even better!

Just a thought.

Chadnliz: Though my suggestion was not a joke, I am happy it provided a laugh for you! The dispersion characteristics of the Veritas dome midrange provide for excellent imaging and a broader soundstage than most comparable dynamic speakers I've heard. They do not lack for dynamic HT range, either.

Duke Lejeune of Audiokinesis is working on one to add to his well regarded more expensive offerings. His designs are dynamic and easy to drive. He's a gentleman who won't plug his own line...but I can. You might email Duke before buying anything else, to get more info and see how close he is to releasing his sub-$2000 design publicly.
