Narrowing down floorstander selection.

Well, at least everyone likes what they bought. No ego gratification, justification here. HA!
Here's a question: Is it more important to be phase and time correct electrically, or at the point of the listener?
That is, coming out of the speaker, or at the point where the listeners ears are: if so why, then how do you do that? Then, what is the result? Then what speaker does that, (or speakers).
Phase and time correct electrically may not matter if the listerner hears a sound which has terrific lobing problems in the room. Just a thought.

BTW, most of these are decent speakers by most people's level of expectation.

I would consider VMPS which is one speaker I would really like to hear. Innersounds are another manf. I have heard great things about for Electrostatics panels that have been able to pulloff intergration between Panels and a Dynamic Drivers.

I cannot comment on all of your contenders but I can say with confidence that the VA Beethovens have a big sound that can fill a large room. In fact a review I have by Michael Gindi of the now defunct Ultra Audio mag said that he felt that their sound could fill a multiplex. I own these speakers and I would agree with his observation, I have a friend who use to have the Beethovens in a exteremly large room and they sounded great. Ironically my friend swithced out the VA's for Martin Logan Prodigy's which are much larger and and cost twice as much.To his suprice the ML's could not compete with the VA's in this large room so he sold them and bought the VA Mahlers, and he was able to recover and of course improve upon the big sound that the VA's are known for.

You owe it to yourself to include both the Legacy Focus 20/20 and the VMPS 40 Sig. in your above list to audition.
