3500 US speaker help please


I was interested in buying the Paradigm Studio 100's. I listened to them and they were not quick enough to handle the busy acoustic music I like. I did listen to the B&W 804's. They did a much better job. Are there any other full range speakers in the $3500 range that I should be looking at? I have a 210 watt, 2 channel Parasound amp. I also have an old Paradigm powered sub that could be worked into the mix. My listening room is large and has a high ceiling loft. Thanks for your input.

sdcampbell's post is one reason why ya gotta listen for yerself, imho - i've heard vandy's before, in shows & at stores, & they never did *anything* for me - seemed slow, veiled, w/no imaging to speak of. yet, they have a wery avid following. so, take these comments as a starting point, & go listen... i admit i'm considering the newforms, which i can't audition, but w/a 30-day in-home trial period, isle only be out return shipping if they aren't *it*. i may yust risk it.
used proac 2.5's - ~$2500, used proac 3.8's - ~$4k, new newform research r645's - $2265 delivered, 30-day in-home trial, ewe pay to ship 'em back if ya don't like 'em...

re: sub - get another one to match if ya wanna have the best soundstaging for 2-channel audio - ya need two subs, imo...
